I am totally being snarky, because (in my experience) setting up CI for
a project takes a bit of work to get to a useful state, especially when
doing CI over a wide range of systems.  If somebody is willing to do the
work, that'd be wonderful, but apparently nobody is?

So instead we have the current state, where hydra builds on Debian, and
that's it.  (Plus Emba, and I don't know what systems it's building on,
really.)

I think anybody's that interested can set this up in whatever way
they want to.  The CI doesn't have to be a GNU/FSF-approved thing.
