We had a situation this morning where Windows desktop Firefox builds were lagging by over 3 hours on b2g-inbound while the Desktop B2G builds were all humming along just fine. bhearsum tells me that this is due to how B2G builds are prioritized. Desktop Firefox builds actually run tests and should always take priority over the B2G builds which are basically run just to make sure they don't break.
I traced this back to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=823642#c0. I have a feeling this was added during a b2g work week. We should probably make them at least equal priority at this point. Catlee?

Can we differentiate between tests and builds for these purposes?
Absolutely!
Given that B2G builds and tests run in AWS and capacity is rarely an issue, I don't think we really need to, though. I think we can just kill the special case and call it a day.
Windows b2g builds don't run in AWS though...does that make a difference to you? We could adjust priorities on per-builder type basis, too.
Non-AWS B2G desktop builds are run at this point only to make sure they still build. The platforms that actually run tests are AWS.
equal priority sounds fine to me

I think this addresses this bug and bug 945724.
