General development discussion (trends, ideas, ...)
- ACK pre vs post processing for background jobs
  - Bug 32573 - background_jobs_worker.pl should ACK a message before it forks and runs the job suggests we should ACK of STOMP messages before we begin processing which would avoid the issue 30 minute time issue among other problems. It appears that the STOMP documentation and the RabbitMQ documentation do not agree. We should have a vote if needed.
