We urgently should decrease our huge amount of jobs ... What about removing 
this job completely? We already have the "build-user" job that tests the 
compilation on Debian, which is likely at a similar library level as 
centos8, so I doubt that we get much additional test coverage from this job 
here when it's running on Centos 8.
