The problem is that even these could do different things simultaneously:
I still haven't figured out how to mutually lock out builders that are
on the same slave. This is a frequent thing to happen, as people often
check-in trunk and backported branch patches nearly simultaneously
(which is fine, of course - the machines just have to cater with that).
