While a sane CI setup is definitely the primary reason why this work
is happening, a secondary goal is making it possible for (potential)
developers to ensure portability and debug build issues on platforms
that they don't already have easy access to. The overlap between the
two goals is basically 99% anyway.
Moreover, if some build job fails on Travis, it would be nice to
quickly reproduce the failure locally[1] instead of doing multiple
round-trips to Travis. So I vote for keeping the Ubuntu bits,
especially considering that the overhead is literally 9 lines :)
Yeah, I think it is reasonable to have Ubuntu support. Travis is somewhat
performance limited, so if we ever get more CI hardware of our own I would
expect us to move Ubuntu jobs off Travis. The only key unique thing about
Travis is ability to build on OS-X - we can't easily replicate that ourselves
due to OS-X restrictive licensing.
