Here are a few things I have lined up that could be done via rabbit:
-Send oops reports to lp-oops immediately rather than later.
-Trigger completion of long-poll paused requests on appservers.
-raise traps when things like the queue retry limit trigger

The long poll stuff is arguable just the end-point of tasks being run
in the NewTaskSystem, but many things won't need that, so I think its
worth considering it as a related but separate concern.
