Thanks for the reassurance of the code _change_ testing in RHEL and upstream!

This is valid and helpful feedback, but please note the different code _base_
(Ubuntu) does not allow interpreting that as sufficient, alone; there has to
be testing of the code _change_ on the same code _base_.

The PPA testing you performed helped a lot with that, thanks again, and in
case you'd have cycles to test jammy-proposed on Windows, that'd be great!
And would help with this point too:
