Ideally yes, but until the racy tests issue is fixed/kfailed and another
set of old known failures is kfail/xfailed, that can't happen.
I don't think any buildbot slave has ever been stably green yet; they
weren't green to start with. It used to be much worse a few months ago,
we're getting there, but it requires effort, and we could use all
the help we can get.
The buildbots are quite useful, but we can't rely on greenness
alone to determine release-readyness at the moment.
Thanks,
