> In the Travis CI environment if someone modifies a docker image, the build system has to rebuild the image.  This is expensive and takes a while, and usually causes one of the first five build jobs to fail.  In addition the image is rebuilt multiple times.
> The improvement here is to have a set of docker image verificaion/rebuild jobs that run before the other build jobs.  Each one will simply load up the docker image, see if it needs to be rebuilt, and rebuilt it.  If it is possible to express dependencies between Travis CI jobs, then we can add dependencies so that once the docker image has been rebuilt, certain jobs can start running.
> This is typically seen when someone needs to rev the docker image.  Their pull request causes docker images to be rebuilt, and it can timeout a build job.  Then their build fails, and the build job that queues behind it will have to rebuild the docker image back to what's based on master, so it will probably timeout too.
