I do understand it's not a nice timing for such an update, even if it's
very minimal. Maybe it will be accepted as a buster-proposed-update for
the first point release, then?
FYI, monitoring of RabbitMQ is a mission-critical thing, and I just
missed this new binary from upstream which simplifies A LOT the
monitoring of RabbitMQ, which is the source of 99% of the troubles on an
OpenStack cluster. I really want to bring this to Buster users.
Cheers,
