No; there's no need for it to be there.  The submakes get information
about whether they can run a job or not from the jobserver (a pipe).
They don't need to know, nor would it be useful to know, how many total
jobs are possible; they just know whether they can run the next one or
not.

Why do you need to know how many jobs are requested?
