<pre>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.
