That only tells you anything in case you evne know about the GIT_TEST variariables, but doesn't really give you much of an idea what the intent of that job is.

I think it's still a fair point. The question is whether we can come up with a better name then that is not an eyesore and that gives you a clue what the job is doing without you having to know about the underlying mechanism. A couple of names that come to my mind would be "linux-nondefault", "linux-optional-features"... and not much else. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks! Patrick
