Why are you so quick to "kill" AIX bots when they are so, relatively speaking, quiet. Each AIX failure gives me work to check if the bug is already known or not. I disabled email notifications because I reported 2 different bugs and nobody is able to debug them:
# 2019-08-27: No one seems to be able/available to debug issues specific to # AIX. For example, https://bugs.python.org/issue36273 was open for 5 # months and nobody managed to debug this issue (to fix it). "PPC64 AIX", # 2019-09-17: No one seems to be able/available to debug issues specific to # AIX. For example, https://bugs.python.org/issue36752 (multiprocessing # core dump) was open for 3 months and nobody managed to debug this issue # (to fix it). "POWER6 AIX",I'm trying to minimize my workload on buildbot bug triage. It takes me significant time. Sometimes up to 30% of my whole week.

IMHO: These are both related to the issue I opened in January - when I had time - but never got any replies on https://bugs.python.org/issue35828#msg337076 until May 21st (by you).
This is not, imho, a CPython bug pur sang - it seems to be more related to the compiler used. With gcc as compiler it is "away" 95-99% of the time. And the 1% it is around, it is probably something else. As such, I feel it is not fair to be dumping AIX off the radar when there are so many other bots that "fire" daily.
I know I have a preference, so I am trying to be cautious - and that is why I replied in private. Not looking for an argument. But this is just one issue and unlikely related to Python itself. When I have some vacation time I will look into it.
Currently, I am more busy with things the bots do not see, e.g., 64-bit errors. And doing my best to not involve you - to not increase your time on AIX matters.

If one or both AIX buildbot workers were modified to use GCC instead of XLC, I can consider to reenable email notifications. My main issue is to not get spammed by the same issues again and again, if nobody looks at the issue.
