It's rather "we cannot run all the guest architectures on all jobs due to 
time constraints"

Well, not everybody has access to non-x86 machines, so there's not too much 
we can do about this, can we? The only possibility is: We still have support 
for travis-CI, so if you've got a github account, you can test aarch64, 
s390x and ppc64le there before sending a pull request. The .travis-ci.yml 
file needs some love, though, one of the jobs is currently timing out ... 
it's on my TODO list since weeks, but I just didn't find enough spare time 
to fix it properly yet.
