PQM serializes changesets so that they must apply cleanly with no

What platform would it run the test suite on?  Presumably the same one
I tested on before I submitted the patch :-).

I think we'd just have to pick one. It would probably be a *nix based system.

I think this works if you're a Linux development shop, but perhaps
not as well for Python.

It would still solve a problem we have today, which is that the release branch is very often broken when the time comes to cut a release. We've had to delay several releases because of red buildbots or failing tests across multiple platforms. Even having the branch always releasable on <pick one> Linux would be a big improvement.
