Hi Tom, This sounds very interesting! +1 from me. What does this imply for the release testers? Would it be possible / desirable for us to add self-hosted runners for other architectures? I'm assuming GitHub only provides x86, right? I totally missed any details about that in their docs, but it seems to be implied here [1]. I'm not saying we should go all-possible-arches from the start, we can definitely try it out only for x86 this time around if you think that would be the best approach.
