Description Susan McCourt CLA 2008-06-10 15:30:48 EDT 
In 3.4, the p2 UI attempts to prevent the user from performing simultaneous provisioning operations.  it does this by registering all jobs that modify a profile with a utility class, and the various buttons in the UI consult this class to see if a job is already running.

Should we instead provide scheduling rules that can be used to schedule multiple operations?  Should IProfile implement ISchedulingRule?

Note that to fully support this concept, we would have to resolve just before performing the operation since the state of the profile can change.

Susan, can we mark this as a dup of bug 218216? (good thing to put back on the radar though)

you know it's a long release when you start duplicating yourself
