RFC series, and Loongson and Intel do test on RFC series. I'm guessing the
thinking was something like "RFC patches are at least one stage away from
merge, and probably do not represent the final state of the patch, so CI
testing is not very valuable." On the other hand, I'm sure in many cases
getting that early feedback, even for an RFC, is helpful to developers.
I'll bring it up in the CI testing meeting tomorrow and see if any of the
CI testing people have an opinion. Anyways, I think all labs should have
the same policy, be it testing or not testing on RFC patches.

Thanks for the feedback.
