Yes, I think there is more that we can do around having specific jobs
run, and also more types of pipeline managers that understand load
conditions -- or at least more fine-grained priority specification so
they don't have to.  But I also think what Jeremy said is correct --
we're in the middle of a push toward Zuul v3 and need to stay focused on
that.  These are good suggestions with well articulated use-cases, so I
think adding this to the issue tracker for now so that we can address it
later is the thing to do.
