Yes, especially if we just do that in the zuul launcher which we aren't
recommending anyone else use at this point.  Doesn't really need to be a
change in the protocol as much as an intentionally incomplete
implementation.  :)

We could adopt the convention of suffixing the job names for, say,
tempest jobs but leave other jobs (such as translations) alone since
they only have one potential node anyway.

(As an aside, in retrospect, having the workers register the *labels*
and have the job name as payload rather than registering *jobs* might
have been a better approach.  It would certainly solve the immediate
technical problem, but as it does not improve the user experience is not
something that I think we should do in Zuul v2 and should instead focus
on doing things right in v3.)
