  Note that gitlab also has a *hard* limit of 1000 jobs per pipeline. Since we 
continuously add runtime tests and defconfigs, we're going to hit that limit at 
some point.

  So it's not simply an infrastructure issue, I'd say.

  That said: a hack to bypass that limit is to trigger several sub-pipelines 
instead of just a single one, e.g. one for defconfigs and one for runtime tests.
