At this point I believe we have ample Linux build capacity. Darwin looks
pretty good as well the ~4 M1s we have should in principle also be able to
build x86_64-darwin at acceptable speeds. Although on Big Sur only.
The aarch64-Linux story is a bit constraint by powerful and fast CI
machines but

of 9-12hs; and this just keeps dragging out and making progress hard.
The pending pipeline currently has 2 darwin, and 15 windows builds waiting.
Windows builds on average take ~220minutes. We have five
