If we were to accept this (or other providers besides Cirrus), then I
think they should run the exact same configurations that we have for
Cirrus right now (or possibly subsets or supersets, depending on
availability and capabilities). Those have been put there with a lot of
care to get efficient and reasonably broad coverage. There is no point
in starting that whole journey over again.
If someone thinks we should have more coverage for Red Hat-based
platforms, then let's put that into the Cirrus configuration. That
should be independent of the choice of CI provider.
