Yes, that's correct. I'm not sure how it defeats the purpose of the job queue
though. We could do it like refreshlinks works and submit a job that submits
more jobs, but I don't see how that would be any better. I did a simple test on
testwiki a week ago and submitted 2k jobs at once and it seemed to work fine.

I actually didn't know that existed until now. I basically forked the code of
TranslationNotifications and used that...
