--------------------------------------------------------------

The update to this is that we now manage documentation within the wildfly repo in master branch, so any updates to the docs here do not need to run the whole CI -- probably only some sort of 'doc lint'. So the machine time saving cost here is huge.

Though, PRs that are also changing code but in subsequent updates only update documentation, the CI can't tell those apart and will have to run the whole suite again -- this is a disadvantage to having documentation as part of project source repo.

> Currently the testsuite is ran against all PRs regardless of which files are being changed. This is waste of energy/resources when commits only contain changes that do not effect code (e.g. when updating README.md). 
> A possible solution would be for a blacklist to be created, which lists the file types which can be safely ignored by CI when a PR only contains changes to files of the listed file types.
