Exactly. We have another system in place at Digia that runs automated
tests in much larger amount of platforms than are in the CI. These include
a number of different embedded operating systems running on some different
HW platforms.

Correct. The current release test system is in no way connected to the CI
(except that we leverage same test asset and built the automation on top
of it), and currently only running with 4.8. We need to connect this to
the CI and overall test system at some point after we have 5.0.0
completed.
