Well, if jobs modified each others' sandboxes it would make them
non-deterministic, i.e. the result of a job could depend on what other
jobs were running at the same time, which would be confusing although
maybe there could be cases where it could be useful. Jobs modifying
their own sandboxes wouldn't really add anything.
