The main problem I see is that normally you don't want to release a 
channel until *all* parts have rebuilt.

We do have meta.schedulingPriority, but it's used little, and from 
earlier discussions I think it's really hard to objectively determine 
which packages are more important than others ;-)

BTW, aborting jobs would need to be done very carefully, because we have 
some jobs that run for hours, so that could lead to wasting lots of time.
