Summary: How about implementing job "grades" as a UUCP front end?

Why not implement a separate spooling mechanism that only dumps into UUCP
during off-hours.  Something similar to the at q's, perhaps combined with
changes to uucico (to get low priority stuff if no high priority stuff is
queued) seems quick & dirty.  I see the high kludge quotient but what else
is wrong with this?
