Hi,

Even when the target platform is Linux, there is a large set of developers on either OS X or Windows [laptops]. As we are considering different execution environments on workers, we can also start considering supporting BuildStream natively in these environments.
Once the remote execution sandbox backend is in place, I think the complexity will not be too bad. But curious to here of any pitfalls.
I'll file an enhancement issue separately, one for Windows + WSL and one for OS X.
Cheers,
Sander
