Yes. Two problems with that are a) more work for cluster admin (me) -- 
think cross-product of the number of user jobs to the number of execute 
nodes times keeping track of attributes nobody needs any longer -- and 
b) flocking to machines whose classads I can't modify anyway because 
they're in somebody else's pool.
