I've talked briefly with Assaf about the reliable-msg project, and
it's very interesting with a lot of nice stuff, in particular an
emphasis on a very simple API (the hallmark of well-designed Ruby
libraries). But according to him he's not adding new features at this
point. (I'm sorry to put words in your mouth, Assaf, please correct me
if I'm wrong.)
