"If you are using Linux only on .org, you will still have access to all
five concurrent builds, but if you are running both, only two of the five
concurrent builds can be used for macOS at any one time."
It sounds like they're only limiting concurrent macOS builds, so in theory
since we only have 1 we won't be affected. (I may have read the post
wrong?). If macOS jobs build up I presume that blocks other builds from
starting though?
I'm neutral either way - just testing in branches sounds like a reasonable
compromise if we'll be affected by this.

It's been pretty bad recently. Here's one incident:
That one is supposedly resolved, but it's going to take time for Travis
to work through the backlog.
One idea could be to separate the macosx backend into a different
repository and only run mac builds on that one.
Another idea: CircleCI offers the "Seed plan" for Mac OS open source
projects, but we'd need to contact them to request it:
That plan includes 500 minutes per month, which isn't very much, but
perhaps we could forgo builds of every revision and just trigger a build
every day or every two days, depending on how long the build would take.
