It's actually not CKI, just a few smoke tests (config validation, making
sure the SRPM builds) run on the free Gitlab runners. It'd be great to
get CKI to do build tests in the future, though.

Having the bridge wait for CI is configurable and I think it's best to
just turn it off. It was most useful back when I was the only one making
merge requests so I didn't spam the list with changes that were broken
anyway.
