I think "ouch" - as I have been working hard to get all the tests to pass for AIX. I feel "defeated". -- Let me take a moment to just say thanks for everyone's help the last months to get it this far (WARN message status on gccfarm bot due to issues with linking to a third-party (not IBM AIX!) library to build an extension. -- Short comment on the "platforms.html" - sys.platform (re aix3 and aix4) is dated. Is this something I can assist with via an issue and a PR? -- oh yes, I thought "unstable" already meant no messages were sent. Corrected. -- p.s. I do not see you holding up a release of Python because a test regresses on AIX (and no explanation can be found) - but I would hop that AIX will be seen as stable enough to warrant being permitted to send a message during development to signal a portability issue. -- p.p.s. When I get an idea and/or assistance with understanding how to debug the *multiprocessing* test failures the bot faces (but I (generally) do not get when running manually) I'll dig further.
