Do you have any lingering questions, or can this issue be closed?

Very education link, thanks. Just what I am looking for. The issue is that this link is not in the documentation - old design and new design choice deserve at least Fedora Magazine article.

Documentation in https://fedmsg-migration-tools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/migration/overview.html might need a fix to start with a problem statement, which is:

• ZeroMQ doesn't provide guaranteed delivery
• durable queues are not supported - ZeroMQ doesn't keep messages for offline consumers
• authenticated writes - ZeroMQ doesn't authenticate users?
• queue monitoring tools - ?
