I meant the one where Eclair is still running on `smoke` and twiddling its thumbs for 1h doing so each time OSSTest says yes to a push.

Am I missing anything? Every debian unstable container, and the other containers (OpenSUSE) which are using an non-specific upstream version. Upstreams which really are rolling distros (Arch, Tumbleweed) need to be made non-fatal. Then the second part which is also a blocker. Update the distros we test with to be less obsolete. e.g. the majority of our CI testing runs with Alpine-3.12 when EOL more than a year ago. (2022-05-01) ~Andrew
