IMHO less is more. IOW, we should use/support the fewest  possible CI
systems required to get the coverage we want.  If we can get all macOS
coverage on Travis, I'd remove it from Cirrus, or vica-verca. The fewer
places we have to look at the more likely we'll pay attention to it
when it breaks.

Daniel
