I do see that there were warnings even with the github robot's run - but
those builds eventually went through.  I guess if it isn't stable, it
makes sense to not deploy.

One alternative is to create a separate "workflow" for github action
that can be called "fedora" and that will be recorded differently by the
robot and then if there's a failure at least it will be a different
"test."  This probably isn't preferable, though - since it creates
another test in the UI.
