FWIW, I agree that you've already done plenty to ensure that this
works well on common platforms. We cannot reasonably expect you to be
just as sure that there are not problems on obscure platforms ahead of
commit. It isn't unheard of for certain committers (that don't like
Windows, say), to commit things despite having a suspicion that their
patch will turn some fraction of the buildfarm red. To a certain
extent, that's what we have it for.
