A couple of more technical questions: * why do we care about whether all those features are enabled or not? It's pretty ugly to have that list hardcoded in our build scripts, and I don't quite get the point in having it in the first place;

* as a follow up, why would this be a separate job? We are always going to build the website on one of our supported targets, so basically we end up building it twice... Can't we just generate the artifact as a side-effect of the regular Fedora 31 build?
