Travis CI MacOS build delay about uportal-home

+0 for leaving it. I'm of the view that CI is supposed to be the place where longer tests can run.

But I'm not going to push that. I'm not personally blocked by the tests, and I can approve PRs regardless of CI failures. It's nice that there's a MacOS build, but I wouldn't really care if there wasn't one.

I would vote to leave it as it is. It's valuable. Today Travis CI had some hardware issues. I can see the argument that having the checks increases productivity as well.

My second vote would be the allowing MacOS builds to fail. I'm open to other's thoughts.

+0 for leaving as-is. Differential failure on MacOS vs Linux shouldn't frequently be a thing, so the marginal value of including the MacOS build probably isn't high.

If its a non-blocker I am +1 for leaving as is.
If it becomes and issue I would support the allowed failure and fast finish option.

It sounds like there is consensus for leaving this as is for now.
This can be revisited if it becomes a blocker.
