    + still missing one of the main macs in .ch, they are also in lockdown / home office, so hard to reach the data center
      + increasing the mac capacity is on the table anyway
      + would fill up the capacity with current generation machines (Mojave → Big Sur)
      + plan to cross-compile to arm64 on x86_64
      + 2 mac pros are behind VPN, 66% of the capacity → not great
      + need more mac for CI: not sure if it’ll be newer or older machines
        + best would be to wait for 2nd gen arm mac for CI…
    + 3 options:
       + mixed: mojave / big sur
       + stay on mojave → buy intel macs
       + pull up everybody to big sur
       + could do it only for CI/tinderbox, but not yet for release builds
    + seeking for input (Cloph)
       + MSVC versions are not exactly the same on all builders, either (Stephan)
         + preference: whatever to get build power
         + fine with mixed environment
       + getting the queue down to be shorter would be great (Miklos)
       + people not bypassing Jenkins, not a problem yet
