I meant the one where Eclair is still running on `smoke` and twiddling
its thumbs for 1h doing so each time OSSTest says yes to a push.  It
will be a missing 'exclude' somewhere, but I haven't hand enough time to
look.

Every debian unstable container, and the other containers (OpenSUSE)
which are using an non-specific upstream version.  Upstreams which
really are rolling distros (Arch, Tumbleweed) need to be made non-fatal.

Then the second part which is also a blocker.  Update the distros we
test with to be less obsolete.  e.g. the majority of our CI testing runs
with Alpine-3.12 when EOL more than a year ago. (2022-05-01)
