If you're referring to the newpb failures, I think we need some other way to deal with them. I've been trying to catch Warner online, but haven't succeeded so far.
Should this code go back into a branch? Should buildbot just not run the newpb tests? Neither of these seems really satisfactory to me, but these failures shouldn't be failing builds: they never passed reliably in the first place.
