Hello Laurent, I see your point, and I see no issue on removing the two last lines of CI_T= AGS documentation. I just added this information on documentation because the default runner u= sed for the Free Tier of Gitlab does not work for this CI, as it needs more resources to run. This information can be added on some other place, but at= the time I thought it would be ok to let it be there.=C2=A0 This other runner I mentioned in the patch is also available on the Free Ti= er (free as in beer). I would like to make it clear that I have no connection/affiliation to Gitl= ab, other than a free account in their system, which I use for some CI. I have = no interest on advertising anything from them. My only objective is to make it easier to hobbyists/beginners to use those available free minutes to test some change before sending the patch, if the= y think that's valuable. >=20 > I've just looked attentively, the intention is just to explain you may ne= ed to > set gitlab variable in your project fork in order to select correctly siz= ed > sized runners in your own instance.

Correct. Companies can benefit on that, but my focus was on hobbyist (or begginers) = who may want to test their patches on free CI before sending them to the ML. >=20 > Its quite a stretch to call this "advertisement", that makes it looks ver= y > dramatic.
