There's a lot that we can do to make Travis almost that fast, with

the way of aggressive optimization yet.  As recently discussed we're still
doing twice as many builds as we need to just because we've misconfigured
branch / push builds :).


Hm... pre-built dockers also takes effort to keep them updated... and
then we will have a KVM VM starting inside a docker in which we run
the tests...

...and we would not be able to test the inotify part.

Since there is only one travis configuration per repository (well, per
branch, technically, don't think that makes a difference here) and the sudo
configuration is global (isn't it?), I always though either a project had
to pick sudo or not sudo and you couldn't have a mix of builds with each.
