I do understand it's not a nice timing for such an update, even if it's very minimal. Maybe it will be accepted as a buster-proposed-update for the first point release, then? FYI, monitoring of RabbitMQ is a mission-critical thing, and I just missed this new binary from upstream which simplifies A LOT the monitoring of RabbitMQ, which is the source of 99% of the troubles on an OpenStack cluster. I really want to bring this to Buster users. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
