I think using MS at master with released platform/cli was a powder keg
waiting to explode.

We shipped a broken 3.1 mobile spec, and so +1 to your suggestion of fixing
it and moving CI back to test testing cadence releases with the matching
MobileSpec.

Side note: part of the problem seems to be that mobile spec is both an app
and a set of plugins, and those plugins (namely the dependency plugin)
weren't being updated on the plugin update schedule (weekly).  We should
make a note to do so in the future (or even move MS plugins out to another
repo and add to registry?)
