[rabbitmq-discuss] Queue Lease (x-expires)

[Steve Powell]

Just a thought,

If you go the way Simon says and have something from outside poking the mgmt API
every few minutes, make sure you issue queueDelete with the if-empty bit set. 
There is a window between the poking and the deleting in which messages may
arrive on the queue (i.e. it's not idle anymore), and it may even not be in-use
(have consumers) by the time you get to it.
