While I don't recall seeing any NetBSD buildbot, I recall that we had a OpenBSD buildbot but it was red as far as I recall. Many tests were failing on OpenBSD: test_crypt, test_socket, and many others. Since we have much more "green" buildbot workers nowadays, I would prefer to wait until almost all tests pass on a "new" platform, before plugging a new buildbot. For example, I am now subscribed to the buildbot-status@ mailing list which may be flooded by failures until a buildbot becomes stable. I'm ok with skipping enough tests for a "new" platforms to get a "green" test suite, and fix skipped tests later. In my experience, keeping tests which fail forever is annoying and hides new regressions. Even if a buildbot which always fail shouldn't send email notifications, in practice, buildbot likes to send emails for various reasons, even if the previous build was already a failure and the new build is still a failure :-) But maybe we can adjust the buildbot configuration to not send notifications on some buildbot workers.
