             Summary: Remove all the Dispatch tunables; we have no idea if 
they're important
                 Key: DISPATCH-11
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DISPATCH-11
             Project: Qpid Dispatch
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 0.1
            Reporter: Ted Ross


A car has a simple interface: steering, gear selection, lights,
wipers. Those things are important to drivers.

A car also has another interface, for car mechanics: valve timing,
fuel-air mix, and more stuff I'm pretending I know about.

Dispatch's config is currently confronting drivers with things only
car mechanics should have to care about: "worker-threads",
"hello-interval", "hello-max-age", "ra-interval",
"remote-ls-max-age", "mobile-addr-max-age".

That's the wrong bias. It's much to be preferred that we, the
people developing the software, discover ways to provide good
defaults that don't require tunables. Then, only when we face a
particular need and no way to handle it seamlessly, should we
consider exposing config for it.

Build it for drivers, not car mechanics.
