It is possible that tasks which require a combination of resources will not be dispatched, because individual resources are always in use by tasks which have simpler resource requirements. The scheduler could be modified to detect task starvation and take action, for example reserving one resource for the starved task until the other required resources are available as well.

Note that task starvation is not a problem if tasks have simple resource requirements (at most one resource) or if there is sufficient time in which the job queue is empty. We haven't seen task starvation occur in existing SoftFabs yet, but it could occur if usage patterns change.

docs: Remove Roadmap document
79b8e2c 
I created issues in the GitHub tracker for the ideas in this document
that were still relevant: #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #14 #15 #16 #17 #18 #19 #20

We want to create a new roadmap at some point, containing visions for
the future rather than concrete feature plans. But when we do that,
it should not be part of the installed documentation, but kept on
for example a web site or wiki instead.
