I don't follow.  How does "MCollective username/password" imply that
it's tied to Apache ActiveMQ?

Again, I don't see how this answers the question I was trying to ask.
Referring generically to "the Message Queue server" in the templates
would not prevent mcollective supporting one specific implementation;
the idea is just that it means you won't need to change the text when
you add support for others.

Perhaps my questions need to be read in their original context... see
