So it seems we already have 60x parallelism and a discount ($4/month per 
user if we have Teams for free) and at least a few of us didn't realize 
it?  Admittedly macOS remains at 5x until you get to the enterprise 
level.

So, case closed on that I suppose.  I'm not sure where the rest of the 
discussion about just-GitHub-for-CI stands, but that can be separated 
from thread.
