tandrii is working on the git-triggered scheduling algo right now, that should solve this issue.

bgoldman@ can you switch your builders to gitiles triggers? issue 646067 has just been completed. 

I'm on it.

I take it as "throttling" is still useful jobs that really need to run continuously (like gsubtreed) but there are such jobs currently on scheduler.
Thus, this is not critical to LUCI effort *yet*.

do i understand correctly that this is not time-critical anymore because Fuchsia's problem was solved by switching to commit-based triggering?

Yes.

While this is still valid, we haven't had much need for this in last year. Downgrading to Pri3.
