as you probably noticed, i do 20 to 30 commits per day.  whatever
server receives those commits is going to get absolutely hammered, and
hammered with *overlapping* jobs.

there are other reasons: salsa was hacked and went offline.

the current repo... times 15.

you don't push 15 repos time 15 repos, it's a one-to-one.  one push,
means one corresponding sync.

that's still 15 repos:

* nnutil
* ieeee764fpu
* nmigen
* nmigen-soc
* soc
* c4m-jtag
* openpower-isa (missing from Kazan)
* pia

ok only 8 (so far - we still have binutils and gcc to add,

now, if some of those are going to be excluded (which kinda defeats
the object of the exercise) then great, only say one is needed.
