Yes, of course. It should build everywhere. No, not tested currently.

That is not kind of problem I am talking talking about. I am talking
about a problem which occurs only on saturday April the 24th, 2021
between 23:30 and 23:45 in a country with a 30 minute time zone and
DST. These are horribly difficult to reproduce and when solved affect
only the test code and not the code under test.

Al I am saying is that such infrastructure may look nice and cuddly but
the step may not be so innocuous.
