In former times, each commit would trigger a rebuild, which would
invalidate (kill) ongoing build jobs. Wouldn't it?

Has this changed?

If new builds are scheduled behing ongoing builds, that would explain
the behaviour (which I have been seeing myself a lot as well).

Although I (so far) claimed that build jobs aren't just done twice, but
even more often.

If "obsolete" build jobs are not (no longer?) killed: what's the
rationale?
