I have appointed Antoine Pitrou as the authority/manager for which build slave are considered stable. If you want to get a certain slave elevated or demoted, you have to convince him.

I would also like to ask release managers to take the stable list serious: test failures in a stable slave should be considered as release blockers (demoting a slave to unstable may be a resolution, though). Of course, release managers can deliberately chose to ignore specific blockers, anyway.

Very nice. http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/stable/ is completely green at the moment -- which means that I can now indeed take failures seriously in the future. Previously, two of four "stables" for py3k were not even connected for ages (and yes, I should have complained earlier. As we progress into the beta stage, I will take buildbot failures and release blockers more seriously).

cheers, Georg
