What I would like is for Ruby itself to use CI. That way the core team
isn't relying on bug reports from preview releases.

I figure Linux is covered since that's what Matz develops on. If we
could get folks to give the core team access to Windows, OS X, AIX and
HP-UX boxes (and various versions of each), we would have much greater
confidence with each release.

Regards,

Dan

PS - I've got a Solaris 10 laptop and Windows XP Pro desktop the core
team can use for CI if they wish.
