I agree.

But just to give you a simple a idea that I have been thinking about  
is just to set a priority on each batch job (if we call it that). Then  
we can have ordinary resigning that is not at all critical set to the  
lowest priority, and emergency signing at the highest. This is not at  
all related to real time processing, just batch processing in its  
simplest possible way. But in order to do this we must at least be  
thinking of having some sort of queue.

The proof of concept should probably not include this at all, but  
might at least need a queue. So I think we need to discuss it anyway.
