Acknowledgement of CI instability

Hi all, The GHC team would like to acknowledge some ongoing CI instabilities in the GHC project: - regular failures of the i386 job, possibly related to the bump to debian 12 https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/commit/203830065b81fe29003c1640a354f116... (although the job still failed occasionally before this), - flakiness of the MultiLayerModulesDefsGhciReload test causing the fedora33-release job to fail, - lack of availability of darwin runners, causing aarch64-darwin and x86_64-darwin jobs to time out. These issues are currently causing a string of marge batch failures, holding up several MRs. We are currently short on resources for addressing problems with CI, so please bear with us while we sort the situation out. In the meantime, feel free to let us know of any other CI issues that are impacting your work on GHC. Best, Sam

Hi,
As I’ve now arrived in Seoul and have my Mac’s back, I can bring two more
M1 Mac’s back online today. However they are hooked up on a serviced
apartment internet which might not be the fastest.
Best,
Moritz

On the topic of Macs: I'm back from vacation now, and I've done the thing
that makes the four other Mac runners available again. (Deleting a spurious
route that perennially reappears on the gateway's routing table, and
restarting the gitlab-runner services that don't revive properly after the
nightly reboot.)
