See bug 593096. (Hah! I anticipated you guys by almost 700,000 bugs!)
It's currently WONTFIX, but there's some relevant discussion in there.

If this is a serious problem, and I can easily believe that it is, have we
considered having a default behaviour of cancelling all unfinished Try jobs
running for a given user when they push again? Based on how I've seen
people use Try over the years, I suspect a significant majority of pushes
are updated versions of previous pushes.
For cases where a developer needs to run multiple runs at once, we can add
an override in the trychooser syntax. I think that's a corner case, and I
don't think it would be a major burden vs. the cost/benefit for everyone
else.
I think the treeherder path we wouldn't need to auto-cancel, but we would
prompt when the user adds jobs from the web interface.

I'm sure most of you have experienced the pain of long backlogs on Try
(Windows in particular). While we'd all love to have larger pools of test
machines (and our Ops people are actively working on improving that!), one
often-overlooked thing people can do to help with the backlog Right Now is
to cancel pending jobs on pushes they no longer need (i.e. newer push to
Try, broken patch, already pushed to inbound, etc).
Treeherder makes it easy to do this - just hit the little circle with an X
icon on the right hand side adjacent to the "XX% - Y in progress" text
along the top bar of the push. You will be prompted whether you really want
to cancel all jobs on the push. Just hit OK and you're done.
Killing off unnecessary jobs can have a significant impact on wait times
and backlog, so your consideration is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Ryan
