I was wondering about the weird new column name workers_to_launch when I
read the commit message - AFAICT this has been an internal term so far,
and this is the first time we expose it to users?

I personally find (parallel_)workers_planned/launched clearer from a
user perspective, was it discussed that we need to follow the internal
terms here? If so, I missed that discussion in this thread (and the
other thread that lead to cf54a2c00).
