Hey all,

After two weeks of annoyance I'll just dump this here.
There have been many people who have donated their browser resources to our
TestSwarm[1] continuos integration project for MediaWiki.

First and foremost, thanks to all who've been doing so. Please keep doing
that :)

However there's one little thing I'd like to get rid of:

Someone with Ubunto has an "Epiphany" (WebKit based) browser that is
polluting[4] our swarm with false positives.

"Epiphany" is not a supported[2] browser, but due it lying[3] about it's
identity it is not blocked from joining the swarm and instead submits
results under "Safari".

User agent of suspect:
        Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/534.26+ (KHTML, like Gecko)
Version/5.0 Safari/534.26+ Ubuntu/11.04 (3.0.4-1ubuntu1) Epiphany/3.0.4

Please whoever operates this machine, keep it out of the swarm.

(in the future we might get a system to blacklist this but for now..)

Thanks :)

- Krinkle
