IMHO that is a not viable.

Our longest job today is approx 60 minutes, and that is already
painfully long when developers are repeatedly testing their
patch series to find and fix bugs before posting them for review.
I can perhaps get through 5-6 test cycles in a day. If we have a
2 hour 20 min job, then I'll get 2-3 test cycles a day.

I don't want to see any new jobs added which increase the longest
job execution time. We want to reduce our max job time if anything.

Daniel
