If by matrix you mean the version matrix, then the module in question
covers every live branch as the source and every same or later live
branch as the destination.

It could conceivably cover older branches as well - the branch names
aren't actually hardcoded - I'd just have to be able to build them and
do a standard buildfarm run once.
