But that's different from the (primitive) deferring mechanism where backend
takes any job that frontend feeds it with and returns it back (effectively
saying
"try to give me this job later") if it finds out the job cannot be handled
at the moment.

If you would like to use what you have described to implement "deferring",
then I doubt you can fit it on that very well.

I am satisfied with the current state and will implement more only if/when
I find it
insufficient (meaning "performing very badly") later but feel free to send
us patches
for this sooner if desired.
