we just want to test things on both major flavours of linux
distros. debian/ubuntu-style distros are nicely covered, and we'll
also have redhat/fedora-style distros covered with the rhel thing now.

With systemd we support quite a number of distros, and if we cover
those two flavours, then we should be in a pretty good state.

Seriously, Johann? 

The rhel-ci people offered us to use their spare machines, that's
all. And Daniel took them up on it, and is now working on getting this
hooked up.

You completely misunderstand how Red Hat works...

In reality, I sometimes wished RH would provide us with more of
infrastructure services for systemd development. In fact though, we
pretty much never used any RH infrastructure. It's all github, fdo,
semaphore and the Ubuntu-ci stuff run by Canonical. In fact, Canonical
contributed more infrastructure to systemd development so far than RH
did.
