[Ci-users] Leveraging Zuul for job orchestration on Duffy nodes

We will be trying very hard to eliminate static agents and other one-off "boxes" in the medium-term. Maintaining a bridge that ships job data to another CI service isn't a goal we have as a project either. 

We can set up a time to discuss if there's a better way for us to meet your needs if you'd like.
