Worked on some more #Gentoo global #jobserver goodies today.
Firstly, Portage jobserver support patch: #PyTest jobs will also be counted towards total job count.
Again, it's not a perfect solution, but it works reasonably. The plugin still starts -n jobs as specified by the arguments, but it acquired job tokens prior to executing every test, therefore delaying actual testing until tokens are available. It doesn't seem to cause noticeable overhead either.

@… I agree. It’s not sustainable in any respect; so, the question is mainly, which will be the first piece to fall,:and when. And it may well be that the conferences collapse before the models…
Until then, as you say, complete intellectual stagnation.
