That is probably a good long term direction, but not really a user
interface you want to point operators at. This is my major complaint
about the filter scheduler; it is a mightily powerful framework, but
the wrong UI for operators. (And I'm a scheduling wonk)

I think it is important to supplement this kind of solution with
several reference implementations included that cover primary
deployment use cases. This lets the feature be defined now for an
instance level constraint, and the backend change later.
