As part of [TGIR S01E09](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2HAJBiXsw0), we found that the ignore strategy was not ideal for production use cases where a network partition occurred due to the necessity of manual intervention. In addition, the readiness probe does not account for the fact that a pod is partitioned, meaning that in the case of a 3-node quorum queue cluster with a 2-1 network partition, 1/3 of the traffic will be routed via the Service to pods that cannot serve traffic due to them not establishing quorum. By contrast, the pause_minority strategy will stop the RabbitMQ app, meaning that the Service will no longer redirect traffic to the pod until it regains quorum.
