We don't know what everyone in the world uses, so your question is
highly loaded. Let me craft an answer, and then you can carry it the
way you want.

GStreamer CI currently uses Fedora 30 and 31 to build cerbero and gst-
build. That is what we use for per-commit CI on 1.16 and master branch
(and all the up coming stable branches). So this will likely always
work, but at some point we'll move forward the version of Fedora docker
images and active testing of older version will drop.

That being said, we have users on various Ubuntu version and we have
made a great deal of effort making sure the cerbero support there is
stable. But we don't have the bandwidth to revisit all 3 years+
distribution we ever support to make sure it keeps working. We entirely
rely on user report, and that requires a very good quality report to
actually get a fix.

Nicolas
