I agree it's not ideal. But I think it is an improvement to check
pu/next/master/maint continuously :-)

I am not sure what you mean.  We are building each and every branch
updates already, and I do not see any improvement over what we are
doing now.  Care to elaborate?

We are building each and every branch on TravisCI right now - but 
only on Linux and OSX. With this change we also build it on
Windows. That should help to spot Windows related issues more
quickly I think.

We are losing the build for PR for folks who later submit patches as
the price for that.  "building each and every branch" stay constant
and the trade-off is between building four integration branches on
Windows and allowing contributors to easily check their work early.

If your "But I think it is an improvement" was followed by "to check
the four branches on Windows continuously", though, I wouldn't have
had to ask the question, as I tend to agree it is a better trade
off.

Thanks.
