Description S Senator 2020-09-21 16:36:12 MDT

We are very interested in and desirous of the feature where a node that is presently idle, but actually being reserved for a future job's requirement, as mentioned in TimW's SLUG20 presentation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHPtttXIiWs).

This is one of our top 3 future feature priorities. We would appreciate being notified when this feature is scheduled to be in a production release.

Thank you.

Hey Steve -

That's scheduled for 20.11 as part of work for one of our customers. You should see info in RELEASE_NOTES about having that change done once it's available. I'm marking this closed as a duplicate of that (private) ticket tracking that work.
