Agreed.

Speaking of which: in the future, we should use topic branches for such
things, to avoid disrupting the main branch.  For instance, I’ve locally
switched back to Python 2 as the default since I was otherwise unable to
use the QEMU-related things.

Actually it’s not too late: we could create a new branch off ‘master’,
and just switch back to Python 2 as the default on ‘master’.  Hydra can
be told to build the new branch in addition to ‘master’.

Thoughts?
