Okay, I'll see what's going on with that. I'm still interested to know if
there's a listing of all the various automated regimens that are used as CI
before accepting Bitbake/Poky patches -- I don't want to keep wasting the
maintainers' time with failures that I could have uncovered independently.

Any comments on the aims and overall technique of this change? So far all
I've really gotten back are copy/pastes of automated builder failures.
