The commit in question does not look like it _wanted_ to change the
default; rather, it appears to me that it wanted to be bug-to-bug
compatible with the original, and any such change of behaviour is
entirely unintended.

I think the attached may be sufficient to change the default
max_jobs back to 1.

By the way, is there a place where we document that the default
value for fetchjobs, when unconfigured, is 1?  If we are not making
such a concrete promise, then I would think it is OK to update the
default without any fanfare, as long as we have good reasons to do
so.  For this particular one, however, as I already said, I do not
think we wanted to change the default to unlimited or anything like
that, so...
