We already have a huge amount of quota from Travis and AppVeyor is no
special quota (we're just like any other open source project). Our contact
at Circle CI left the company so that option has walked away.

IOW we either have to find another CI provider who happens to be faster or
we are going to have to build our own.

management which is more infrastructure to run, so we would have to decide
we seriously want this maintenance overhead.
