Am I correct in assuming that "stable" buildbots are required to be reasonably functional before a release is tagged? Yep - all green is the goal.

Indeed, that's the main difference between the stable and unstable buildbots.

stable = this should work. If it doesn't, somebody broke something and the relevant branch should be fixed unstable = someone cared enough to set up this buildbot, but due to problems with either the platform in general or the specific machine it spends a lot of its time red for reasons that aren't the fault of recent changes to Python

A Cygwin buildbot would start in the latter category then potentially migrate to stable if it proved itself with green results over a period of time.

Cheers, Nick.
