I would vote for splitting this out from RSS.

See, at least the timing constraints are something that is probably
needed by several different actors within the whole process: users
want to define start times, deadlines, and the like (probably using
JSDL), brokers need to know about the constraints for planning
(affecting GSA and RSS), and maybe LRMSs want the information for
being allowed to kill the job if it exceeds its runtime estimation
(think into the direction of BES/DRMAA).

Supposedly, this also goes for other properties described in the CQPs.

However, this is just my opinion and totally uncoordinated with the
writer's thoughts.

So, what do you think, Donal?

Regards,
Alexander
