I'm also tolerant. A regression on macOS Tiger matters me less than a
regression on most Linux buildbots. I tried to focus on recent
versions of Windows, Linux, macOS and FreeBSD.

AIX, OpenIndiana/Solaris, OpenBSD, etc. are broken for month. It's ok,
I can live with that :-) But regulary, I propose to drop support for
these platforms ;-) For AIX, I tried to skip a few tests known to fail
on AIX. For OpenIndiana, we should simply remove this buildbot and
replace it with a new IllumOS buildbot.
