What I am not getting is in what way it blocks you (or others who do not deeply care about Windows) to leave vsbuild CI job broken. Do you have some automation that is gated by all the CI jobs to pass, or do you just dislike failing CI jobs out of principle?

I pretty much got used to seeing occasional failures and learned to ignore it (e.g. https://travis-ci.org/github/git/git/jobs/716661598 that ends with

    Makefile:2467: *** unterminated variable reference.  Stop.
    make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

).
