Right.  I was thinking that the release manager should however be
responsible for not releasing while there are red buildbots.  But it's
not his fault, either; there are no OS X buildbots on the "stable" list,
and that's the list PEP 101 says to look at.

The real problem here is that a major platform doesn't have a "stable"
buildbot, I think.  I've logged an issue to that effect.

The fact that I'm running some buildbots doesn't mean I have to fix the
problems that they reveal, I think.

I did look at the py3kwarn failure, and couldn't figure out the various
twisty passages of deprecation warning as further snarled by the test
package.  I think that one needs someone who's intimately familiar with
the testing framework.
