Can you define "a while"? I have constant new interactions that come in. I can't really stop that to let garbage be collected.

If we could have clusters on different minor versions, it would already be a help. I'd boot a 3.1.0, cluster with 3.0.2, wait until the queues are synchronized, then shutdown 3.0.2. Not expecting that until a while, but that would really help with upgrades. RabbitMQ is the central nervous system in my application. Shutting it down means I lose all senses.

Bye,
François
