I'm afraid this doesn't help us in any way. The current buildbot setup
is already passing the list of ports to be built in correct order. The
problem is that the scheduler then picks them up in some random order.
The missing piece is making sure that the ports are built in correct
order (which would not even be an issue if all ports were built on the
same builder like it was the case with the old setup, that is: no
split between portbuilder and portwatcher).
