I have never seen a s390x machine and probably never will, so you will
know much better than I do whether it's advantageous to our users for
mutter and gnome-shell to be available on that platform, or whether
it would be better to ask for architecture-specific removals of these
packages from s390x and stop spending time on them.

If you would like mutter and gnome-shell to be supportable on s390x,
then yes, we would like their tests to pass reliably there, because
otherwise we have no evidence that they work.

Does it make any sense for gnome-shell to exist on s390x? Or is s390x
only useful as a server platform?
