PR are not the place for jokes. Developers have enough to do managing their projects, they don't need to waste time sorting through jokes. You might say, "it's just one joke, what's the big deal?"

Do you run VS on your production servers? Why would I have any build system installed on a production server ?

For CI? Gotta run your builds somewhere, and a build agent is a production application.
