Not really. The incoming AMQP message is from another system, and the 
lifecycle of what goes on there is not amenable to being a condor DAG. 
(It's basically the control system - requesting work based on either 
operator requests or pre-determined schedules. The "work" in turn is 
something which is broken down into a DAG)
