I have no issues with the content of the second patch. However, snakebite
has changed the situation a little: We don't need more buildbots, we need
experts in AIX and HP-UX.

For DragonFlyBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD we'd ideally need someone who reports the
OS bugs (there are a couple) upstream so that the bots finally turn green and
become useful.

So on fact the first paragraph of the patch is now a little outdated.

Given the current situation I think it would be more useful to add

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2012-September/121651.html

to the devguide.
