I think we'd just have to pick one.  It would probably be a *nix based  
system.

It would still solve a problem we have today, which is that the  
release branch is very often broken when the time comes to cut a  
release.  We've had to delay several releases because of red buildbots  
or failing tests across multiple platforms.  Even having the branch  
always releasable on <pick one> Linux would be a big improvement.
