I think 3 comes from this:

In an earlier discussion

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/279348/focus=279495

I found that we were not eligible for container-based sandbox as the
version of travis-yaml back then used "sudo".  I do not seem to find
the use of sudo in the recent one we have in my tree, so it would be
beneficial if somebody interested in Travis CI look into this.
