Agreed.  Lets not notify about intentionally unstable workers until we are
happy that they can only report regressions.  I can speak for the ubsan
bots - the output on stderr regardless of tests passing is of interest to
anyone looking at sanitizers (which is likely why 2.7 is green - there are
still things that could be looked into on stderr).  tests passing and
failing ideally wouldn't happen but it looks like there is one test tripped
up by the sanitizer (test_venv) for now.
