I think this is a good idea. If I had remembered about the unparseable
.bak files, and thought it through, I could have added code to
bin/update to remove them, and I still can for a fix-up release.

Also, In another thread, Barry asked for feedback on "some kind of
shunt queue culler cron script". I think this is a good idea, either
for a separate cron, or incorporated into one of the existing crons.

How about something like a couple of Default config settings like

BAD_SHUNT_ARCHIVE_DIRECTORY = None
BAD_SHUNT_STALE_AFTER = days(7)

With the idea being anything in the 'bad' or 'shunt' queues older than
BAD_SHUNT_STALE_AFTER would be discarded or moved to
BAD_SHUNT_ARCHIVE_DIRECTORY if it existed.

Do people like this idea?
