Fedora 34 workers have been around for some time now too, so it should
be fine for master.

For dunfell I first make sure that oe-selftest and reproducible
succeed on the new worker, then wait for several weeks of normal
builds with the new worker enabled (by using my contrib/sakoman
autobuilder helper branch)

If all goes well I submit the patch for autobuilder2 to enable those
workers for the dunfell autobuilder helper branch, and finally when
that is in I submit the patches to meta-yocto and yocto-docs to add
the distros.
