What you could just as well do without docker which would make travis run faster due to not needed `sudo: required` and ability to setup travis cache. For testing something locally your docker images make more sense because they are easier to use then compiling that big amount of zsh versions.

Also why you have no builds for PRs and why you don’t merge those 24 jobs into something like 7 (4.3*, 5.0*, 5.1*, 5.2*, 5.3*, 5.4*, master)? Less then twenty seconds to run tests in a single job, lots of time to initialize VMs and there is nothing which may prevent you from consequently running two docker commands in one job, or using two zsh versions via other means.
