Doesn't dropping the messages coming from a non ack/fail caring spout
negate the 'at least once' attempt of storm? I mean doesn't that kinda force
you to make all your spouts ack/fail aware where before you could have gotten
away without it?
In other words. There is a chance that if the worker that died is the one
containing the spout and if the first bolt is located on another worker, that
technically at-least once wasn't tried but rather fell to the floor right away.
