 Custom pipelines currently defined are:
-- `staging-tests.json`
+- `main-tests.json`
   This is based on `rust-vmm-ci/.buildkite/test_description.json`.
+  We have an internal version, because we have several applications that have
+  dependencies that don't work very well on musl, so it's easier to manage CI
+  by having our own internal pipeline.
+
+- `staging-tests.json`
+  This is based on `main-tests.json`.
   We should keep `staging-tests.json` aligned with it as much as possible to
   make sure we don't notice any difference in CI when we move a crate from the
   staging to the main workspace.
