Hi Chap,

I'm somewhat reluctant to TravisCI due to its requirement for write
permissions to *all* my repositories and associated data. Why would anyone
grant an external CI service such permissions just to handle CI of *one* of
my repositories, and why don't they offer a read-only alternative? I know
nothing about how secure the organization behind the service is and I'm
surprised so few react to this. I don't know, perhaps I'm over cautious and
perhaps I've misunderstood (if so, please explain what I'm missing) but so
far, I've chosen to not use TravisCI.

Regards,
Thomas
