Right. I was thinking that the release manager should however be responsible for not releasing while there are red buildbots. But it's not his fault, either; there are no OS X buildbots on the "stable" list, and that's the list PEP 101 says to look at.

The real problem here is that a major platform doesn't have a "stable" buildbot, I think. I've logged an issue to that effect.

Apparently some of these buildbots belong to you. Why don't you step up and investigate?

The fact that I'm running some buildbots doesn't mean I have to fix the problems that they reveal, I think.

I did look at the py3kwarn failure, and couldn't figure out the various twisty passages of deprecation warning as further snarled by the test package. I think that one needs someone who's intimately familiar with the testing framework.
