I'm worried about enabling them by default eating up CI credits even
faster. Not for cfbot, where we bring our own compute resources, but for folks
own repos.

I quite evidently lost track of that patch, but I think we should instead pick
https://postgr.es/m/20240413021221.hg53rvqlvldqh57i%40awork3.anarazel.de back
up, with that we could enable these tasks by default for cfbot, without
enabling them for everyone.
