Do you wear US shoes? 👟

You can easily replace them with the ones produced by European shoe manufacturing companies such as Adidas 🇩🇪 and Puma 🇩🇪.

But did you know that both companies are German and were founded in the same city by the Dassler brothers, Adolf and Rudolf, who were actually enemies? 💣 To the point that, when they died, they were buried on opposite sides of the same cemetery. ⚰️

Their rivalry was so big that it divided the city and created a long-lasting animosity that touched the lives of all employees and inhabitants.

Do you know an app that disabled Puma's request queuing i.e. `queue_requests false` ? If so, do you know why they disabled it?

I'm wondering if we could remove that configuration/codepath. I know people use it, but usually because of some secondary effect it has on the system. So i'm looking for (all) reasons people disable it to better understand.
