Because it includes the BOOTSBOX.EFI x86 binary file, and executes it? Or did I miss where we update the contents to include that file as we just built it (and so why have it included?) ? > BTW it would be good to get CI running on arm.

The problem is more, for GitLab, getting anyone to maintain and provide a runner and then for Azure, waiting for Microsoft to include some in the free tier. I think for the former, at one point I was thinking about using one of Oracle's always-free tier ones and for a small enough subset of things (like a host tools and a sandbox run) it might be fine. -- Tom
