Yeah, I know. My main beef was that because it fails CI, the urgency of
doing that fix gets pushed onto people working on their individual
topics (in fact there is nothing for you to fix yet because I haven't
even sent these topics upstream). I don't know how to solve that without
stopping its use in the vsbuild CI job, though. And clearly we need
_something_ to generate the build data for that job. So this may be the
last bad thing.

From my perspective as somebody who does not work on Windows, I wonder
how much value there is in running vsbuild _and_ Windows CI for average
developers. I have certainly gotten information from these jobs (e.g.,
when introducing a portability problem, or missing a refactoring spot in
Windows-only code). But I don't think I've ever gotten information from
vsbuild that wasn't also in the regular windows build.
