[pypy-dev] alioth tests?

[Ronny Pfannschmidt]

That got already covered some months ago,

my basic understanding of the incidents that happened back then is,
  that alioth is not a desirable test to participate in,
the code/scripts are biased towards particular implementations,
and the maintainer has some strange ideas,

as far as i remember pypy was part of it for some time, but actually 
underperformed since scripts where heavily cpython-optimized
which does not always help on pypy
