Great points Hadmut.

It is unfortunate how far behind we are in versions. We follow debian
which hasn't been updated in a bit. I was thinking about updating the
package there, but I need to fix the fires here first (and if I update
debian to the latest without handling this bug's issue, I will break
people's server).

I am definitely interested in updating rabbitmq-server to 3.13, however
we do not often update major versions because they are prone to breaking
things (hence, this bug report). If anything, I would consider making a
new binary `rabbitmq-server-3.13` similar to how say, gcc-13 does it.
That way users can upgrade to the new version but it's more of an
informed decision rather than things just breaking upon an `apt update
&& apt upgrade`.

Even if we stay on top of it, users might not `apt update && apt
upgrade` for an extended period of time, and then we would have to deal
with that.

You are on point, I was also thinking about the potential of snaps long
term.
