Any functional test is acceptible to me. If we run this in the CentOS
CI, there is not even a need for containers and we'll just get a number
of servers (cleanly installed) that can be accessed through ssh directly.

Agreed, the first step of automated testing would be to install and
check basic functionality. Updating between minor/major releases can be
done at a later time.

Volunteers that would like to take on this task can contact me to work
through the details.
