I would push it from git daily when the build and test runs always 
stable. My major problem on OBS is that we don't always have the right 
kernel modules installed.

Our drone.io and travis-ci.org setup for x86_64 is already not bad
but a bit poor ... old ubuntu, no loop devices, no systemd. If hydra has 
more features then we could also try this.

Another thing would be gcc build farm. I have ssh login there and there 
are some interesting archs. We could set up some build cronjobs. But we 
can't be root there.

BTW I've heard that Debian has also some exotic developer machines where 
one could ask for login.
