More like "nessecary". Its one of the only safe ways to gender-bender two
"server" tasks together. You could put the queue in one of the servers, then
create a new client task to do nothing but ask for queue entries and pass them
to the other server. However, that creates servers that have two completely
different services (generally a bad idea), adds a task/thread to the system, and
is just all-around ugly.
