tl;dr Could we temporarily bump our cap on concurrent travis builds during sprints? During the sprints at PyCon we've been running into a serious bottleneck with travis. Having an extra allowance for builds already is great, but during sprints even that gets swamped. I am not sure what projects contribute most to the problem, but I'm pretty sure it isn't CPython (essentially 2 builds per PR). Regardless, with the new workflow this bottleneck significantly impacts the higher pace that usually takes place at sprints. Would it make sense to see if the Travis folks would be willing to bump our limit temporarily during each sprint? -eric
