At the hackfest in Wellington this came up as a question in the discussion and it was decided to bring it up at the next development meeting. https://koha-hedgedoc.servers.llownd.net/Development_IRC_meeting_26_November_2025# The discussion is difficult and we want to include as many opinions/people as possible. I felt it would be a bit lost on bug 35920, so proposing a separate bug report instead.
Adding some more personal notes: * When we had a survey at the hackfest in Marseille last year it showed that almost all of the big providers have deactivated RabbitMQ in their installations. That certainly impacts the amount of testing and development work in that area. * Currently RabbitMQ is a dependency that is installed with the Koha packages. So currently it requires some hacking to make sure it's not installed and running even when the new pref JobsNotificationMethod is set to SQL polling. I'll link open RabbitMQ related bugs in the see also section.
