The top-level runs-on value has been pinned to ubuntu-latest and this os variable has no place to live when running tests, resulting in only doubling the workload for no benefits.
Although we can actually start to test on the both os versions, this commit does not go for it and chooses to use ubuntu-latest solely.
This is because it is hard to imagine that the os version affects the outcome as long as the versions of otp and elixir are set, and this is what the popular libraries like plug and phoenix use as their strategy^1.
