Presently there is a shortage of servers to run Buildomat workers for CI jobs. Fortunately, we work at a company that makes servers. So we can just make more servers. And then we can use those servers for CI. And then everyone's happy. In order to do that, we must use the `lab-2.0-gimlet` Buildomat target rather than `helios-2.0` or `lab-2.0-opte` targets. It's possible that some or all of Omicron's CI cannot easily do that due to special-cased behavior for the `i86pc` architecture to detect running in a dev environment. Luckily, no such behavior exists in Propolis, so (hopefully!) we can just switch our Buildomat jobs to the `lab-2.0-gimlet` target and (hopefully) it will Just Work. This way, we're not competing with Omicron builds for the relatively scarce non-Gimlet workers.
