Oh ... hm, yeah, looking at my mail logs, that came in as private mail and
there's no corresponding buildfarm-members traffic.  I did not keep the
message unfortunately, but the owner indicated that he wasn't planning to
bother updating python.  Which is fine, but maybe we should press him to
remove --with-python instead of disabling the box altogether --- we don't
have a lot of Solaris clones in the farm.
