[Nix-dev] hydra build priorities based on package popularity

Hi,

Is there some kind of a priority system on Hydra? As far as I
understand, it just builds everything in order it comes in.

Perhaps giving priority to more popular packages would be a good idea?
If 1000 people want Qt but they have to build it themselves because
there are 50 packages that in front of it that only 2 people fetch then
maybe letting Qt be built first is the right thing to do.

This is just a theoretical question, prompted by staring at Qt
compilation: I imagine it's a popular package so it seems it should have
been built ASAP.

Thanks
