There is a number of existing Boost libraries, and other open-source 
projects, whose quality is quite excellent despite having no per-commit 
CI - for example because the maintainer has more compilers installed 
locally, and more virtual machines, than all cloud CI systems combined. 
Calling these maintainers retrograde is hardly appropriate.
