My gut feel from observing the progress of PRs over the past couple of weeks is 
that the VSTS CI builds are faster and much less problematic than the AppVeyor 
builds have been.  That said, one significant Windows test bottleneck was 
identified last week (largefile tests in test_mmap) on some buildbots and was 
disabled.  We've now also disabled it on AppVeyor, once AppVeyor starts running 
our tests again, and I've suggested it be disabled on the VSTS Windows CI runs 
as well.  That, along with a number of other test fixes made over the past 
week, may help eliminate with AppVeyor.  But, at this point, I think we should 
seriously consider dropping mandatory AppVeyor CI runs in favor of the VSTS 
ones.

Brett, do you concur?  And, if so, can you make it happen?
