You can always run Standard Universe jobs up to the point that a node
is ready to be claimed for a single user regardless of any of these
constraints because they can be checkpointed within a few minutes.
I also don't see that a Standard Universe job really needs to specify
"estimated_run_hours" for that same reason.
I hope these policies are designed to take that into account.
