That all sounds perfectly reasonable; though it's another case that
makes me wish there was an equivalent to apt-listchanges to mail me
the READMEs in newly installed packages!

Meanwhile, there's still the question in my main template-review post:
would it make sense to eliminate the templates' references to the
"STOMP username/password" (default username "mcollective"), and just
talk about the "MCollective username/password"?

And if there are hopes that the package can be made compatible with
multiple alternative MQ-servers, might it even be appropriate to
prepare for that by replacing the references to Apache ActiveMQ with
something more generic?
