Shouldn't we actually prefer the newer distros over the older

what runs on all branches vs what runs only on master + a dedicated ci-

Everything else is just a nice to have.
The idea is to have a decent mix of old (CentOS 7, Ubuntu 16.04),
not so old (Debian 10, Fedora 30, openSUSE 15.1) and bleeding edge
(Fedora Rawhide, plus Debian sid for one of the cross builds), as
well as cover both native and cross (Linux and MinGW) builds.
Building on something like Fedora 31 is not as interesting as far
as catching bugs early goes, because it's safe to assume that the
developer is already using a fairly modern OS to build locally.
