I got started with Jenkins only because my company had it, and so I was 
familiar with it, but hadn't used the GitLab/GitHub frameworks. I'm not 
ready to configure GL/GH style CI myself, beyond crude bug fixing, but I 
am quite comfortable with it.  Indeed, I believe it's simpler, because 
it can be merge request aware, but doing that with Jenkins requires 
additional work.

[One cranky request --- if we set this up in that way, please use 
`gitlab-ci.yml` or some other *visible* filename, instead of the dotted 
filenames that are hidden by default.  I'm not sure why people think 
hiding critical configurations is a good idea, but I don't. Thanks!]

I currently run the ASDF tests on MacOS, but not using Jenkins, only 
doing it by hand (since that's what my laptop runs). So running MacOS 
automatically would be a nice-to-have, but is not critical.

I currently *don't* run the ASDF tests on Windows, but I should, since 
it's such a different platform. Dave Cooper has kindly offered me access 
to a Windows VM for testing, but I haven't gotten around to setting it 
up. It would be lovely if we could hook Windows testing into whatever CI 
framework we end up with.
