This is essentially the issue quota system that MW uses at the moment.

You have an issue quota of n tasks; MW used CPU cores times 6, which is farbled 
if you have and only use a GPU, and this would allow this limit to be adjusted 
(if desired) ...

In this case they could set the quota at 48 for each (app version, host) pair 
(or whatever) and retain the daily limit of 10,000 currently set per system.

Should this be a "hard" number that has to be configured for each (app 
version), or will there be a mechanism so that it is self-adjusting (if allowed 
by the project)?

I mean, MW will want a hard number because of their server issues, SaH likely 
would want a number that can be automatically adjusted...

Though that drives the question, what about Anon Platform...

Still, I can hear the howls from SaH already, even if this won't really change 
anything ... :)
