They really *really* should; if these are going away something is badly 
wrong. From your previous message ("RabbitMQ completely unusable") I 
wonder if something is blowing away the Mnesia directory or something. 
How did you install Rabbit? Have you relocated anything?

No. We've wondered about adding such a feature but it's not obvious what 
the use case is, given that you should just be able to set things up how 
you want them and leave it.

Absolutely.
