That could be very helpful to provide to developers who are trying to =

This sounds like what we have for the buildfarm, where machines =
independently
builds the branches from the Git repo by using the buildfarm client as =
worker.

> * Us to do downstream CI

This sounds like the CFBot, where we (currently) use Cirrus with our own
workers for building and testing the patches which are being worked on.

	http://cfbot.cputube.org/

Both the two latter options are very helpful for the community, and =
serve two
distincly different purposes.  Option 2 is required for a platform to be
considered supported whereas option 3 assists developers in being =
proactive
rather than just reactive.
