Experimental brokers may be functional but they do not have
dedicated maintainers.

Missing monitor support means that the transport does not
implement events, and as such Flower, `celery events`, `celerymon`
and other event-based monitoring tools will not work.

Remote control means the ability to inspect and manage workers
at runtime using the `celery inspect` and `celery control` commands
(and other tools using the remote control API).
