Although as Alex explains, that isn't really Travis CI's *fault* - it's an artifact of the licensing design for macOS being generally hostile to the "dynamic worker pool" model typically used for pre-merge CI infrastructure management. macOS is much more amenable to the post-commit model we use for the buildbot fleet, since we're not trying to manage an elastic pool of machines there - we have a static set of machines that work through the merged commits.
