Hm. I think some hybrid option is needed. Once the job is finished we
should unlabel the slave and then use some garbage collection to  kill the
used slaves. I believe this can be done using system groovy script. And I
think instead of removing labels we should just add a new one, e..g. we add
"to_be_removed" and just schedule based on slaves not having that label.
Smth like how data are purged from the database with delete flag.

I do not like anything that accounts on any delays as  it will rise race
condition at some point. The probability is discussable, but first we
should try to design the system without it if possible.
