Yes. And you could move those runners to the mainline gitlab. There is
no "single" tag, that would be the "all" tag. And "tui-single" would be
"fast amd64".

Yes, and I have no idea what any of that has to do with anything other
than leading to confusion about what tree is or is not mainline. Since
you own u-boot.org and ci.u-boot.org is your gitlab and
https://ci.u-boot.org/u-boot/u-boot/ is your personal tree.
