I rather hope he's not. Implementing it as a rabbit plugin would make it
useless for anyone else, while gaining absolutely nothing.

Yes, it would be. Maybe (in the Ruby case) on Goliath? (TBH I don't know
much about Goliath so that may be a daft suggestion ..)

Well it'd be an interesting experiment. I don't think it's ready for a
"serious" implementation just yet. But trying would certainly be helpful
for moving node.x along.
