Obviously you do, since you suggested it.

Obviously I don't, since I replied in the negative ;)

So, please don't. Make the queue, as requested.

Quoting from http://www.reactivemanifesto.org/ :

  " The client of a component is not burdened with handling its failures."

In other words, it's good practice to design systems that detect and fix
their own problems, rather than expecting a client to verify that
everything it asked you to do actually worked.

Let's do that.
