BTW, on the topic of improving GHA quality, there is this collection of GHA plugins that run the CI on various OSes in VMs:

It worked well enough for me in Boost.Atomic, so maybe it will be useful to others. The problem with this is that VM setup is being performed on every job run, and it takes some time and may occasionally fail. A native runner would have been faster and more reliable.

Thanks for pointing this Andrey, testing BSD locally was quite a pain for libraries like Interprocess. I should take inspiration from Atomic's test workflows... Best, Ion
