"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.
