Hi Simon,

Not to be a bother or anything, but have you thought more about how to
handle the case where an application won't necessarily know if the
broker is using federation or not, and how the application can properly
declare the exchange?

We unfortunately can't ensure the exchanges are properly declared on
startup, so the application makes a point to declare them on init. If I
can declare it as federated and have the broker kick back an easily
parse-able error indicating to not use the federation exchange type, and
redeclare using the vanilla declaration, that would get me most of the
way there.

Happy holidays,

James
