I submitted the story, and I'm mentioned in it.
For me, it's about demonstrating my stuff runs everywhere Go does.
In particular, this makes s390x the only bigendian architecture I can test on "actual hardware" (vs. QEMU binfmt emulation).

- ncruces 4mo agoBut as long as I'm on GitHub, it's much easier to just add this (and the RISE RISC-V runners, and a few QEMU targets) to CI. PS: I do also test NetBSD in CI.
