I had a chance to talk with lmacken and 3bean while at PyCon and learned that the Fedora Message Bus project [1] is being worked on again.
It sounds like there is still a lot of work that needs to happen before we see it implemented but it might be a good way out of our current method of test scheduling.
I'm planning to attend the meetings for now and we'll see where this goes. I expect that it will eventually change the way that we schedule tests in AutoQA.
