There's nothing stopping you (or anyone) from creating such a CI system to augment reporting on how specific workloads fair with certain nested virt implementations.

The OpenDev CI system on the other hand is made of a heterogenous mix of donations from a variety of service providers with various configurations, and even some of those which advertise via CPU flags that they offer nested virt acceleration don't provide a stable implementation of it. There are already projects opportunistically testing with nested virtualization support turned on in their jobs to varying degrees of success, so it would be good to find out what problems their recent experiences reveal. It's also very much the case that even if it's working for a job today, it can start crashing jobs randomly tomorrow when a kernel version changes on guests or on hosts or we add another service provider into the mix.
