I agree with that. I think a boot module should only be concerned about what its module name says, but since I didn't know what was the right solution for the acyclic graph thing I left it there.

As I said before, I think the boot idea is pretty useful so it might be worth the effort of moving those two functions out of rabbit_misc to some other place. But again I don't know what to call that "such other place" module that also fits well with rabbit's current source structure.

I know that projects like Riak are using the gen_server2.erl even with the old LShift copyright…

Cheers,

Alvaro
