So therefore we build one from scratch!!??

Travis CI in particular is an open source and highly community-driven
project; GitHub shows almost 200 accepted pull requests. The current
limited OS support probably stems from its origins in Ruby/PHP/Node.js/etc.
where the underlying OS is less influential. But they do also have OS X
workers now, and contributing support for additional platforms would be
highly valuable to a broad community- not just OCaml developers.

I'd asked whether options like that were thoroughly considered before
deciding to invent one here, and I'm sorry but I haven't gotten that
impression so far.

BTW, there are dozens of Haskell projects in Travis CI. Just sayin' :)
