it is. (well, see below)

not a huge preference: packages with the oldest "scheduled date" are top in 
the queue to be tested. packages scheduled manually now are scheduled at this 
time (or maybe 6h earlier, would need to check), while automatically scheduled 
new versions are scheduled "now" and old, already tested packages are 
scheduled 6h in the future.

so in other words, if you schedule manually 10000 packages now and the 
automatic scheduler schedules new versions tomorrow, while there are still 
9000 packages in the queue, the new packages... ah.... will be newer and not 
tested before those 9000... there we have the bug...

And I will go to the dentist now.. hopefully in the mood+mind to hack later :)


cheers,
	Holger
