If only slaves with a certain capability are able to process a subset of
tasks then you could create a queue for each kind of task. Slaves can
subscribe to the appropriate queue based on their capability. Tasks
should be routed to the correct queue based on the required processing
capability. This way you achieve better decoupling between message
producers and consumers.
