I guess somebody would need to do monitoring on them, and ping operators if the buildbot is down for an extended period of time. Feel free to ping any operator whenever you notice that a slave is down (they do get an automated email, but people can get resistant to automated emails).

Well, I suppose manual pinging can become pretty much like automated emails if it becomes frequent. (in any case, I think I've pinged Matthias at least twice on IRC, but perhaps he isn't really present on that medium, although he doesn't appear away)

Also, if you would want to propose that a different set than the current ones should be considered stable, please let me know. I believe "stable" was meant in a different way, though - it would reliably pass all tests, and a test failure should be considered a bug, rather than some random failure on the slave.

I see. Well, apart from the current ones, "alpha Debian" and "i386 Ubuntu" have been quite stable.

Antoine.
