You're still not explaining what problem this solves. Most "queuing
solutions" offer priorities, acks, persistence, two-phase commits,
etc. ZeroMQ does not.

If you want to contribute to ZeroMQ, I'd advise you to use ZeroMQ to
do do real work, then find areas where you need to make improvements,
then make those improvements carefully and minimally.
