Do you allow a bunch of other port package builds to potentially be
running in parallel?

The problem to solve for an official port package builder machine's bulk
build(s) spans sometimes handling building over 35000 port packages in
one run, to be distributed together, not just a few hundred. Avoiding
running out of resources and, so, avoiding more build failures is part
of that.
