 From my point of view the decision to leave the AMQP working group - 
although it took me by surprise - is just a logical step. iMatix haven't 
been participating in AMQP working group since 0-9-1, its OpenAMQ 
implementation of AMQP is getting to the end of support in 2011 and the 
new product is not going to support AMQP. Having no stakes in the 
protocol anymore, leaving the group is a natural thing to do.
