Right. Effectively you're already defining a set of "machines we care about" -- it's just that rather than explicitly saying 'we care about x86-64 pc, i386 pc, aarch64 virt, ppc spapr, ...' you're implicitly doing it by defining a 'default machine' for various architectures and a list of architectures. I think you should just list the machines you're testing with, instead. I don't mind if we start with a list of what we're testing that's small (or even wrong!) -- we can expand and correct it later. I'd just like the list to be the correct shape. thanks -- PMM
