It'd be good if a job could be set up to completely block an entire category. Use-case for this would be having a "writer" job that e.g. updates a server, and having a set of "reader" jobs that contact that server. The "writer" job would completely block the "use-server" category from running any concurrent builds, and the "reader" jobs would just use 1 slot of the allocated slots for that category.

          [JENKINS-12092] Allow a job to completely block a category
