            Bug ID: 160739
           Summary: EWS should check if the patch is still valid before
                    executing every major step
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Local Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2

Most of the time, it's wasteful for EWS bots to keep building or testing once a patch has become invalid (e.g.: obsoleted or r-).
It would be much better to drop obsoleted patches quickly, and to move to ones that people are actually waiting for.

One step in this direction is for EWS to check if patch is still valid before executing every major step.
