If you have some tool constantly pinging jobs/.../build?token=... but the job is stuck in the queue for a long time, you will get a CauseAction with a potentially unbounded number of causes, all identical RemoteCause instances. In a system with tens of thousands of build records loaded, there can be millions of such causes. This is a waste of heap space (and disk space, disk I/O time to load).

          [JENKINS-33467] CauseAction.causes can become huge
