Fabien, I meant nothing of the sort (nor am I in a position to make any such statement). "discriminate" does not mean discourage. My opinion is, however, that the queue algorithm has no option but to treat daily builds slightly differently. I cannot see a way around it.

It is a simple fact that daily builds take up a lot of builder time, and I suspect that the timeliness of such builds is less important than other less regular PPAs. With the old system, daily PPAs can block up the build queue for hours. We need to devise a system where they can still build (ie. a less insane restriction that the one implemented in 3.1.10), but do not block the shorter, more time-critical builds for hours.
