We could start promoting use of this in WIP PRs and any other commit that don't need to run. It could potentially speed up the testing queue significantly.

Work well when you know ahead of time that no testing is needed.
I wouldn't advertise this to "newbie documentation" though, it's very
easy to accidentally slip something testworthy into a [skip ci] commit.

It does not cover the all-too-common case of committing something, then
committing something else that supersedes the previous commit and you
simply want the first test cancelled after the fact.
I've been trying to convince the Travis guys to add something for that,
but so far I've been failing.
