I'm missing a bit of context here... I think you forgot to add the [1]
footnote, and there's no bug listed that I can see :D

It sounds like this would be a jenkins job that tested phablet-tools
itself? If my understanding is correct, then I'd like to know why this
can't be part of their regular CI test runs (so code to phablet-tools can't
land if the tests fail). Is it simply that the tests require real hardware?

It sounds like a good idea (more testing! yay!), I just need some more
specific information.


Cheers!
