I think some people are against this (or?), even if I never managed to
understand the reason.

Could we reach some compromise and progress on this?  For example at
least a way to opt-in on the Salsa CI scheme?

I've never found any use of the Go default pipeline.  When it (very
rarely) fails I never understand why.  Usually it won't fail even on
serious errors.  So I always setup a fork'ed project and run the
standard Salsa CI pipeline there, to have CI testing that is relevant
for me.
