It's not this patch, it's rather the "ci: move external build environment 
setups to CentOS Stream 9" patch that is missing an update to 
.gitlab-ci.d/custom-runners/centos-stream-8-x86_64.yml ... however, blindly 
updating the 8s in that file to 9s likely also doesn't work since there are 
runner tags involved here.
So what's the right way to update that custom runner to CentOS 9? Paolo, 
Alex, Cleber, do you know?
