Maybe, I'm not sure. It seems only few people care about 
Cirrus/Shippable but they are not taken seriously by the community, as 
they are often broken and nobody is notified. Currently Travis has a 
broader audience.

Also I sent a series to fix various things that break on Cirrus from 
time to time but I felt there is not many interest so I stopped spending 
energy on it:

We could change that by refusing to merge pullreq that break such CI.
