Just as a clarification to not downplay this second step:

On my library (and I suppose others are similar, at least when using 
Boost.CI) the master branch gets tested against the other libraries 
master branch. So when merging to master you'll get feedback from others 
with their respective master branches given their CIÂ  is rerun (on merge 
develop->master or on cron job)

That's why I find the badges for develop and master CI in the Readme 
helpful and important as they also update on the "cron job" rerun on master.

I'm not sure how often the Boost "super CI" testing the whole of Boost 
is run but that also has 1 configuration for master branches. So you can 
check there too.
