I'm not sure this was a good choice. GitHub recently announced stricter
limits on CPU minutes available though GitHub actions. IIRC those limits
will be per project per month, which is especially bad for us because
most of our CI usage is in a single project, and we usually need many
minutes per build. Additional minutes will require payment.

I'm not aware of any such limitation with Azure at the moment, except
for the per-build time limit, so I would prefer to stay with them, since
it scales with the number of PRs we get. I do agree on dropping Travis,
though. It just fails too often to be useful and is generally slow.

Is there a documented IP block used by GitHub Actions?
