It is sad that I have to repeat myself: it is a good thing to have the Azure Pipelines definition as a fall-back. In the past, this has served us very well especially when we had to run a barrage of security fixes, for a slew of backports to previous release trains. You seem to have fun to just remove this code, under some assumption that it is not needed, despite me pointing out that it is needed. Ciao, Johannes
