You’re right, it’s a more general issue. The idea is: if you know builds from past evaluations are no longer relevant, please cancel them. And yes, it would be nice if we could specify, for some jobsets, that every new evaluation cancels pending builds form the previous one (unless they’re the same). Ludo’.
