Isn't that the equivalent of having us write a custom fedora-messaging consumer
for each task we want to automate?
In a way I like this, it's simple(r), really straight forward, constraint and
self-contained. There is no risk that a previous task prevents a following one
to be executed.
On the other hand it also means that if we move to, say fed-messaging, in the
future, we will have to convert more consumers.
If that's a trade off we're willing to live with, then I'm ok with it as well.
