The problem in both cases is that it makes the logs nearly
unusable. For travis, their log-pretty-printer takes forever
to try to render our enormously long build logs, to the point
where you're better off grabbing the raw text-only log.
For patchew, I basically ignore patchew compile failure emails
because it is too painful to get to the bottom of the email
where the actual error message is because of the pages and
pages and pages of useless progress output :-(
