well, as soon as it it is past vanilla Python/Cython, it becomes unclear whether a given change will not break functionality on another platform. So I do not see how in this case one can limit testing to one platform only. E.g. I went out of my way to test an upgrade of the GAP spkg on any platform I could get my hands on. It would be nice to have an automatic build-farm where you can just run tests on all the needed platforms, and fix the results, but this would, for instance, seem to require a central repository with a current snapshot of Sage, something hardly feasible in any moment, except, perhaps, shortly before a release...
