My view is that actually the non-x86 is more important.
If I had a choice of "CI for x86 only" and "CI for everything
except x86" I'd take the latter. Most developers test the
x86 code in the normal course of writing patches, and
submaintainers test it while submitting pull requests.
It's the other hosts that lack testing and would benefit
from the safety net provided by CI to catch problems
in a more timely manner.
