We turned off that behavior a couple months ago when the merge-check
pseudo-job was implemented to automatically -1 any open changes with
merge conflicts each time a new change merges to their target
branch. This covered the majority of the problems identified by the
freshness check, but without using any of our worker pool.

I think it was excellent at arbitrarily abandoning open changes
which happened to meet a poorly-thought-out set of criteria. I'm
personally quite glad it broke and we didn't waste time
reimplementing something similar for new Gerrit versions.
