Well, calling it the MCollective username and password just seems wrong.
It's not a password for MCollective.  It's a password for connecting to
the STOMP server.

Why is that ridiculous?  Unlike the above, those are at least both names
for the same thing.  STOMP is the protocol, and message queue is the
function.  So that's just two different ways of naming the same thing.
