I have never looked at this: schedule an offloading strategy.  And for
example, I do not even know what is the current one.  However, is it
not reinventing the wheel?  I mean, there are "well-know" job
schedulers dealing with various constraints that we could
"reimplement" instead of trying "ours".  Well, my remark is fully
naive, I do not know. :-)

All the best,
simon
