I appreciate the viewpoint but I don't think edk2 has "required" this yet and I would push back on that if it was brought up for community discussion.  As you know I believe contributing to edk2 is much too hard already, and filled with custom edk2 workflows, and this one would only make it more of a burden to contribute.

I do however agree that if this is important to the edk2 community, systems/automation should be setup to run this type of thing.  If that happens, i don't think it is much harder to do it for multi-repo than single repo and if done right for multi-repo then other platforms can opt in as well and the efforts to build this infrastructure will scale well beyond a single virtual platform.

Thanks
Sean
