Can bstop release slots in order that other jobs can start on the same host ?

Here is an example.

I tried the following case.
gnx5561 has been booked by advanced reservation:
RSVID TYPE USER NCPUS RSV_HOSTS
TIME_WINDOW
res0 group res0 3/4 gnx5561:3/4 7/28/18/0-
7/30/12/0

I have launched one job reserving 3 cpus (857274).
It has started on this server. Then, i have suspend it using a bstop.

After that, i have submitted job 857427 reserving 3 cpus.
This job is unable to start as the other job is pending.
gnx5759{bouffane}131: bjobs
JOBID USER STAT QUEUE FROM_HOST EXEC_HOST JOB_NAME
SUBMIT_TIME
561663 bouffan RUN login gnx5014 gnx5759 *_bouffane Feb
12 14:29
857274 bouffan USUSP reg gnx5759 gnx5561 xterm Jul
28 18:01
gnx5561
gnx5561
857427 bouffan PEND reg gnx5759 xterm Jul
28 18:01

When we are using advanced reservations, previous running jobs are
suspended. It allows jobs belonging to reservation to start.

Why don't we have such behaviour for "User suspended" jobs ?

    There are several open RFE's asking for similar functionality. To aid decision making and prioritisation, we are consolidating these under RFE142217
