The durable queues residing on the crashed node and their associated 
bindings do indeed disappear - but only for the duration of the outage; 
if/when the node comes back up the queues and bindings re-appear.

Queue replication, or, more precisely, the ability of queues to stay 
alive in the presence of individual node failures, is fairly high on our 
priority list. There are a few other items we want/need to get out of 
the way first though, so I doubt we'll get round to it for another few 
months. As always, sponsors are welcome.

As noted above, bindings are already durable. Moreover, they are already 
replicated.
