Background: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1359942
As jobs move to taskcluster, we have an improved opportunity to do some smarter scheduling of what jobs to run on what sort of push. Of course, it's a thorny subject: optimizing away a task that should run may let a bad push show green, while a subsequent push bears responsibility for the orange it introduces. One of the more common expectations is that pushes that only change a directory affecting one platform should not cause other platforms' tasks to run. In the bug above, I have proposed a method of identifying pushes "affecting" a particular platform, and Greg has raised some concerns about the generality of my solution. I'm happy to generalize, but I would like to keep the process in motion rather than let the perfect be the enemy of the good. To that end, I'd like some further feedback on implementing this sort of optimization support. If there's sufficient interest, then this is probably something we could set up a time to talk about in SFO in June.
