Indeed. Personally, I'd be keen to extend AMQP with additional methods
that allow such things to be manipulated, thus allowing such management
to be done by any client with the necessary credentials. I find this
much more appealing than extending mgmt or rabbitmqctl.

It's interesting how the "semantic equiv check" on queue.declare (in the
case of redeclaring) should almost certainly _not_ care about such
mutable aspects of queues.
