Right, but my point stands: it's custom usage/configuration of
autobuild-run that we would prefer to discuss on the mailing list first
before deploying/enabling.

I think you're missing a point here: many of the builds today are
failing due to the glibc 2.36 bump. So pretty much every single build
that is glibc based will indeed fail with some error related to this
glibc bump.

Your additional randomization will not change anything to this. It's
just that we now have the glibc bump issues + the newly discovered
issues related to the extra randomization + the usual amount of build
issues.

Best regards,
