Description Katrin Fischer 2026-03-12 15:54:38 UTC
On bug 41506 we discussed the option of removing RabbitMQ from the codebase. There appears to be consensus that a sensible first step is to update packages to make RabbitMQ optional and SQL polling the default.

I believe this would still allow libraries to use RabbitMQ and even move it to a separate server without it installing on the Koha server.
