Exactly, it comes from the Debian arches names.

We certainly can. ARM testing via OSSTest is a still experimental,
AFAIUI.

I don't even know if we have the hardware, yet, as I think the "rack" of
ARM dev board IanC was working on will be setup in the new testing COLO,
rather than in current OSSTest pool of hardware (someone correct me if
I'm wrong).

However, that seems to be taken into account by the fact that, in
make-flight, in test_matrix_do_one(), after only 2 jobs are created (the
basic debian one and a libvirt one) we have this:

  # No further arm tests at the moment
  if [ $dom0arch = armhf ]; then
      return
  fi

So, yes, I guess I can get rid of such filters in my new function, so
that, when ARM maintainers  will disable the safety catch above, a job
will actually be generated.

I'll give it a shot for v2.

Thanks and Regards,
Dario
