As I said, stuck Mac jobs reduce the Linux parallelism from 5 to 3.

No, it doesn't, it runs 3. Look at it.

Your delay at this specific moment is indeed due to boostorg/system feature 
branch work, but that's because you're lucky. Usually, you'll be stuck 
waiting for something like 
https://travis-ci.org/boostorg/math/builds/330892193 and no amount of 
rallying against feature branches will save you.
