This seems like a sensible rule.

This also prevents the following bizarre behaviour: when a flight has
a handful of jobs that cannot be run at all (eg because it's a
commissioning flight for only hosts of a particular arch), those jobs
can complete quite quickly.  Even with a high X value because only a
smallish portion of the flight has finished, this can lead to a modest
threshhold value.  This combines particularly badly with commissioning
flights, where the duraation estimates are often nonsense.
