Over making everything public, certainly. Compared to the current
public/private distinction the additional complexity looks negligeable
(naively I'd say replace the private flag with a timestamp that will
expire - added complexity: one cron job, and a few queries to adapt).
However it would meet the other goal: make all data public and thus
avoid duplicate jobs.

Anyway, making jobs private (forever or temporarily) means a lot to me,
and so I would be willing to tolerate quite some complexity (I know that
I'd hardly feel the cost personally...)

Best,
