Comment(by karsten):

 Ugh, this was another instance of #8049.  The parsing script (not stem)
 broke when printing out `"  skipped %s due to '%s' (type: %s)"` for non-
 ASCII line `"<9C><FD>^Xcontact root@[ipaddress]"`.  See the traceback
 above.

 I guess we have reached a point where the effort for finding new bugs is
 higher than fixing bugs we're going to find during normal operation.  For
 example, we might find more bugs in metrics tarballs when initializing
 pyonionoo once it's written.  But I think we should stop actively
 searching for bugs at this point.  I'd say feel free to close the ticket.
