Congrats :-) But that only for 3.x branch: 2.7 and 3.7 branches are
still red. Can we simply remove AIX jobs on 2.7 and 3.7 branches? Or
does anyone see the point of keeping them?

Tests pass on PPC64 3.x, but all jobs POWER6 AIX are job (including
POWER6 AIX 3.x).

http://pythondev.readthedocs.io/platforms.html is my website.

https://github.com/vstinner/pythondev is the source.

I have no idea of what is the current value of sys.platform on recent AIX.

Oh wait, I wasn't aware of that. Is it something new? I confirm that I
saw this code in master.cfg:

        if stability == STABLE:
            mail_status_builders.append(buildername)
            github_status_builders.append(buildername)

I started this email thread because I get emails from custom jobs. It
seems like this test should be updated to explicitly exclude
notifications from custom jobs.

The release process is unrelated to my thread. My use case is that I'm
keeping an eye on buildbots as part of the Night's Watch team: I'm
reading most emails sent to buildbot-status and I'm trying to analyze
all failures.

I didn't know that unstable buildbots don't send emails. When an
unstable buildbot switch from green to red, I would like to be
notified as well. It can be a regression in Python, not specific to
the buildbot.

I can handle regresions caused by a change on a buildbot, like an
update of the system.

Oh. Multiprocessing is complex. There are still many know issues
reported to the bug tracker, *but* multiprocessing tests should be way
more stable on buildbots now, than they were 1 or 2 years ago.

You should be more specific if you want to help you, but maybe start a
new thread instead.
