IMHO, your proposal is orthogonal with the issue at hand: broken packages. Other said, the issue is: how to deal with the set of packages that will not build and we already know it (since weeks, months or even years for some). My workstation can handle all the compilations that are required. My laptop is able offload to it. The issue about broken packages is not about the resources. It is about burning resources for nothing. About the issue you are speaking about, we already had discussions in this direction -- you are not the only one saying "the fix needs to do X" for a while but please keep in mind that "talking does not cook the rice". ;-) Well, maybe you could open a ticket with a concrete use-case.
