For those of you following alone at home--  I just discovered that durable
queues are particularly nice for nova scheduler. Without them an outage of
either the MQ daemon (qpid in my case) or the scheduler itself can cause
the scheduling requests to get dropped on the floor. With durability the
instance gets scheduled when the broker or the scheduler come back to life.
