Thanks. (For more context, CI means "continous integration". A CI system is a (set of) machine(s) continously compiling (and hopefully testing) software projects, often showing the current status in some web thing. 15 years ago this was called "nightly builds".) | If you ask me it is more of a please configure and update your CI rather than a don’t use CI systems. I think that binaries built on a machine with any internet facing services except perhaps sshd should not be deployed. Unless reproducibly built. CI systems can of course still be useful for catching regression. Running tests on a CI system is a good idea.
