Thanks for clarifying. So apparently you feel David should have waited to post something (hopefully!) like: "Sage built on Solaris SPARC and doctests passed." or at least "no new doctest failures happened"?

Yes.  This post contains nothing "actionable".

Actually, I think all such posts belong on sage-release; all 1000+ subscribers to sage-devel don't need to know every time Sage alpha X builds or brakes on system Y. (Of course, these replies are invaluable for the release manager, so I don't want to discourage people from sending them in.) Fortunately all such posts usually occur in one thread, so I can delete them in bulk when they show up on sage-devel.
