Thanks for the explanations.

> We are already paying Travis.

Have you heard anything from them about improving the issues with macOS? You've certainly got a case study in it being a problem.

> While Mozilla does sponsor a lot of Rust stuff, it's fundamentally a community project, and so many of us (including myself) would prefer to not to move closer to something that's Mozilla-specific.

Fair enough; I only suggested it because I had the impression that Mozilla's bits were all based on Open Source systems, and it would just be a matter of sharing hosting infrastructure rather than duplicating it.



I'm not on the infra team so I'm not sure; I do know they pay attention to this stuff though.

Yeah, it's not really so much "it's not open source" as it is "Mozilla is the only organization who's really using this stuff". I used to worry about this a lot, but I think we've mostly gotten away from it now that a lot of organizations are using Rust. That is, if Rust was a Mozilla-only technology, I think Rust would have failed its mission. As such, I'm wary of things that seemingly tie Rust back into Mozilla too specifically.
