I couldn't agree more!

Basically what's needed is to enable the jobs, meaning committing the
relevant snippets to the "gitlab-ci.{yml,d/*}" files.

Both ansible playbooks have been run on both machines, so the gitlab-runner
and tooling to build QEMU are in place.  The gitlab-runners have also
been registered on the "qemu-project/qemu" GitLab repo.

I'll send a rebased/updated version of the playbooks, gitlab-ci.yml
configurations, etc.  In it, I'll propose that we enable the jobs, but
ignore errors for now (allow_failure: true), because it'll ease the
review.  Once the jobs prove mature, waiving of failures can be
removed.

How does that sound?

Thanks,
