[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ logs, ticket check

Matthias, thanks for the very clear answer.

I don't have any attachment to or need for realms, so as far as I am
concerned, they can disappear and won't be missed. I will definitely remove
realm-related items from my code once they become NOOPs.

Regards,
Edwin
