Lol :-)  Here is the result of peering into the abyss:

I do like the 0.9.1 protocol spec.  But it's not AMQP.  it's ex-AMQP,
a patch of a deprecated branch.  :-(  And AMQP/1.0 will be _totally_
different.  No exchanges, bindings, or consumers.

So your investment on AMQP is basically going to be worthless in 2-4
years, and you're going to have to migrate to a totally new protocol
and stack, from only a couple of suppliers.

Meanwhile you could be getting 50x the performance on the same hardware...
