There are two confusing parts to this output:

• START_TIME is the time the job was first created, not the time it actually started (because of queueing).
• The STATE of none for the queued jobs would be easier to understand if it said "queueing" or "blocked".

Describe alternatives you've considered:

These are not technically bugs. They should in theory be improved when concurrent DDL is possible, but even with concurrent I expect there will be some maximum concurrency and hence improving still helps.

Teachability, Documentation, Adoption, Migration Strategy:

Currently START_TIME true meaning may be CREATE_TIME. I think a new field can be added.
