We all learn from our mistakes ;)

Now *there* is an idea. Being able to extend/augment the 
server_properties as part of the server configuration, much like our 
client APIs allow you to do with the client properties. See, e.g. 
http://www.rabbitmq.com/releases/rabbitmq-java-client/v2.0.0/rabbitmq-java-client-javadoc-2.0.0/com/rabbitmq/client/ConnectionFactory.html#setClientProperties(java.util.Map)

I have filed a bug for that.

Matthias.
