This is looking very interesting.  Buildbot is centralized and can be
hard to debug.  As a result not many people triage and fix configuration
issues.

Travis CI allows individual developers to modify the build
configuration.  This is much more friendly.

Can you explain the limitations of Travis CI?  For example, does it
start costing money at some point?
