One downside is that the usual CI cycle for a branch that takes a
bit shorter than 40 minutes seems to take between 50 to 60 minutes
(the primary culprit seems to be the address sanitizer).

Arguably, that 10 or 20 minutes are time saved from human
developers' time, so it might not be too bad, but I'll keep
it out of 'next' for now.
