 Meh, this is not what I meant...

 What I meant was to rename .gitlab-ci.yml.in to .gitlab-ci.yml and to add the
include to the end of it, and to make generate-gitlab-ci.yml generate only the
included file.

 This has the advantage that it allows to generate different versions of the
included file by modifying the generator script. For example, we could think of
generating only a subset of the defconfigs and tests in master, and use a
special branch for full testing, and add another CI job with a time trigger that
updates that special branch.


 I thought of fixing that up while committing, but it's a little bit complicated
so instead I've marked the rest of the series as Changes Requested.

 If you don't have time to do it, could you instead repost v2 but rebased on the
"extends" patch?
