I guess there is no technical problem to do c) with Jenkins, only a lack
of understanding how important long-term testing over many platforms

Isabelle + AFP has grown a lot in the last 2-3 years, which can be seen
in the very nice overview https://devel.isa-afp.org/statistics.shtml

That growth will come to a grinding halt, if the continuous performance
