 Right now, build properties first ask the build request, aka, the
 scheduler, and then the change properties.

 From a information flow, I think it'd be more logical to do it the other
 way around.

 It also breaks the use-case I'd have for properties, which is, attaching
 the locale to a change, and then have the scheduler determine which
 locales it'd build for that change. Right now, I'd have to put the locale
 of the change into a different property, and ignore that one in the build.

 I have a hard time figuring out a use case for the opposite, or maybe just
 a hard time trying :-)

 Original code is by bhearsum, so putting him on CC.
