[rabbitmq-discuss] Acknowledging messages across the federation

Whoops, replied back to Simon instead of the list.

I have a policy of "^amq\." with federation-upstream-set: all, isn't that
federating the random exchanges already?

I'm not clear what you mean by "any exchange which will only route to one
consumer". Are you suggesting that the code route the message to a desired
consumer, instead of taking advantage of rabbitmq itself?
