To carry this forward a fraction, you're suggesting that maintenance
should work like construction - the building keeps employing as many
workers as possible, until it fills up and fires them all?

Personally, I think it would be better the other way around -
construction should work like maintenance, and they should both work
right.  It always irritates me when 10 workers all scramble for the last
piece of stone to build a building.  I'm not sure how this is
implemented in the code, but if it works the way I expect (workers look
through a prioritised list of jobs), then when a worker is rejected from
one job, he should continue searching, starting from the next.
