I laughed. I like it haha.

You wouldn't need to have 4 running workers though, since a worker can
subscribe to multiple queues. 

Regardless of the implementation, I am keen to get plugin-generated tasks into
Koha.

Personally, I would prefer more granularity and configurability, but this does
sound like a pragmatic compromise. 

Another benefit of having "real-time" and "turtle" would be that adding more
background tasks should have a lower barrier to entry, since you'd just need to
provide a class for the worker to use and an interface for enqueuing tasks.
(I've been concerned that people haven't been taking advantage of the
background tasks because they weren't sure how to work with it.)
