I'm not a fan of "this is always right in all situations", these rules
have the tendency to become religious.

Some samples:

a) an external change causes test failures - the recent failure of the
vscode extension build is one such sample
b) an external outage causes test failures - neighther github, nor
apache apache gitbox, nor the ousol, nor maven central are perfect
c) travis changes infrastructure changes - I have seen this in other
projects

I don't say travis should be ignored, but putting it on a pedastal is
also wrong.

Greetings

Matthias
