A recent example is Nick Coghlan's implementation of the PEP 538: basically, it broke all buildbots... except of Linux and Windows :-) And it will take a few more days to fix all failures. Well, we are working on fixing these issues, so I don't want to revert this change. It's just an example of a single change which broke many buildbots. The PEP 538 depends a lot on the platform, so I'm not surprised to see different failures per platforms ;-)
Status update on this specific change: Mac OS X should be back to green now [1] (with some anomalous cases being skipped [2])
The tests are currently still failing on C-locale-only platforms (see [3]), and on FreeBSD specifically (see [4])
Cheers, Nick.
