I can assure you using my own PC is not an option for me compared to Travis.
I don't know how many non-custodians there are using this (and I can probably
arrange with Marek to use socfpga custodian access), but having a free-to-use
CI seems worth much to me.

I don't know how much effort it is to keep and maintain the Travis config
files though...
