The harm is in the increased complexity of the queue itself, and in
the programs that manage and access it. Increased complexity costs in
reliability, security, and resources consumed.
I do agree that that feature has some benefit. I'm doubtful it's
worth the cost, but I have little idea what the cost would *actually*
be. Remember that there'd have to be some way to get the information
passed to the queueing engine, too.
