[ANN] mybinder.org will no longer build repos without any environment information

Due to some patterns of abuse, mybinder.org will no longer build repos which don’t contain any recognized environment files. In most cases, this should be a proper error that a repo isn’t suited to run on mybinder.org, but if you have a repo that relies only on the standard library and only contains notebooks, you might see errors where things worked before. If you specify information about your environment, even just the python version, it should continue to build.

Hey @minrk, thanks for the announcement. When I read the title of the post, my first thought was that mybinder.org was closing. Maybe a better title would be “mybinder.org will require a configuration file”.

Sorry, forgot to finish editing the title! Not as dramatic now.
