Confusion about Immediate

[percybolmer]

Hey, I am writing a blog post about RabbitMQ in Go, and once doing this I really try to dive deep into understanding everything.

I am a bit confused about the immediate parameter in the Publish functions, that accepts an Immediate flag.
Is this left for backward compatibility and can be ignored if using RabbitMQ v3+?

I've noticed that immediate is removed after that.

Yes. It is there because this library can be used with other AMQP 0.9.1 servers that may support the flag.

That's what I suspected! Thanks for clarifying
