A silent round of applause for you.
Very much appreciated.

And actually, I have been looking at properly supporting host-wide tag
maps, so the concept of 'shallow' queue depth might be the way to go here.

And as I have some other questions, too (assigning a new tag on
requeue?) it might be an idea to spread this out into a formal session
at LSF. If there are some slots left, that is.

Cheers,

Hannes
