Note that those relationships are generally getting formalised as PSF
in-kind sponsorships, so that they're not completely dependent on personal
relationships with folks that work there, and so there's likely to be some
prior warning if credits are being withdrawn and the Infrastructure team
needs to make alternate service hosting arrangements (see
https://www.python.org/psf/sponsorship/sponsors/ - while that listing
doesn't separate out cash sponsorships from in-kind service donations, it's
possible to make a reasonably informed guess as to which is which).

FWIW, switching from a hybrid Travis/Appveyor setup to a hybrid Travis/VSTS
setup seems like it would be a reasonable way to go to me, since we have
existing sponsorship arrangements in place with both MS and Travis CI, but
no formal relationship with the Appveyor folks that I'm aware of (I believe
we're just using their regular free tier).

Cheers,
Nick.
