> "It would make sense if they had a "newest only", where if you have one deployment running and 10 pending, by the time the current deployment finishes, gitlab would cancel all deployments except for the latest one. This way you don't have to wait for old deployments, and you're free to do a rollback at any time."

Hi, GitLab Team member here. This is exactly how GitLab functions when you use "newest first" process mode [1] with Prevent outdated deployment jobs enabled [2]. By default, pipeline job retries for deployment rollback is enabled, you can rollback to any of the failed old deployments, except where its disabled. [3]

Thanks for getting back to me!

That's amazing, I always had this problem in my head about how to solve people stepping on each other's toes with high volume CD workflows.

This should solve it nicely, thanks again!
