Sorry for the duplicate email. I thought the part of "why do we need two
services" was in another mail and I stripped the paragraph without checking:

The reason is simple. These CI services only support a limited number of
operating systems. For Travis this is Linux and Mac. Since a few months
Windows as well.

Cirrus appears to supports Linux, Mac and FreeBSD (which probably would
have been sufficient).
But honestly: I never heard about Cirrus before, while Travis is very
well known in the GitHub community. This makes it easier to find Travis
expertise in case something goes wrong. Personally I also find Travis'
UI cleaner.

So while Travis technically is redundant now it has some nice user
experience benefits compared to Cirrus. And as Travis is set up anyway
we may as well leave it enabled.

Best regards
