Nice, having standard build/test environments will make it easier to reproduce issues. I sent several pull requests to Peter Maydell last year that ended up failing in his build environments. Although some of those issues were non-Linux and therefore not captured by your Docker environments, capturing common Linux environments is a step forward. Stefan
