They are run every night - currently for different version of debian/ubuntu,
windows and osx.

But there virtually always have been a lot of tests (see dash[0]; starting at
the HF in Lyon), that fail at least on some of the platforms (including only
some of the debian/ubuntu version), so that's not a clear indicator for real
bugs.  Hence the outcome has never been reliable enough to mean anything
without taking a closer look at the results.

Matthias fixed a bunch of the tests, when Travis was introduced.  But still
disabled a couple of the flaky tests just in the travis configuraton and also
added some new control images to make some others pass.
