Comment:

 It's hard to detect "idle", which users will expect to be a slave-related
 concept, not builder-related. It's particularly hard to detect in a
 distributed sense - and I want to get away from implementing single-master
 features that break down in a multi-master context.

 With a message-bus in place, it would be possible for the scheduler to
 schedule a build for a builder if it hadn't heard about any new build
 requests for that scheduler in N seconds, and there were no outstanding
 build requests for the builder at that time.
