Hi Pavel, Unifying the options seems like a good idea. But it should be kept in mind, that some people may have some automation build around these tools. In our case, we have a set of shell scripts to set up the broker environment, including creation of some exchanges, queues, bindings etc. (If the options are changed, scripts like this need to be changed as well, which increases effort, cause problems etc. In our case, we use mainly the qpid-config, but others may use other tools as well) You may take this into consideration when modifying these options to cause as few problems as possible when migrating to a newer version of Qpid.
