The latter is the case; there are Twisted trunk builds, but they're flagged
as "failures allowed" to avoid disrupting development with transient
breakage. Unfortunately this means that basically nobody ever notices when
they fail. For example, here's a failing build:

https://travis-ci.org/twisted/treq/builds/194691849

I haven't found a good solution to this problem yet in my own projects; I'm
hoping someone else has some ideas?
