I think exposing "--jobs" as the primary UI element is a good longer term goal; the approach taken in the intermediate step would be a necessary one for backward compatibility. I stopped carrying it in 'pu' some weeks ago (I suspect it had some interactions with other topics in flight, by causing either test failures or textual conflicts). Perhaps somebody interested enough in the topic can resurrect it.
