in practice I guess the first rule to trigger a rule would be the acting parent of that triggered rulew

09/27/2019, 4:47 PMthe reason i keep pointing to https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/7907 though, is that we will almost certainly not want to track all nodes. which means the current workunit code is not where we want it to be. cc @happy-kitchen-89482

09/27/2019, 5:13 PMBut right now Pants does not do so, and instead posts in bulk? That is my understanding of the code, but I am new to Rust so...
