With transactions and DLC both playing at the same time, you run into troubles, though. Suppose you have a route from queue A -> queue B which does a bunch of "stuff" in the middle which you want to have atomic (database inserts, putting messages on other queues, etc.). Thus, you use transactions of course. Now, if something happens along the way, the transaction will rollback. Rolling back the transaction would also cause you to put the message back onto queue A. Then you're right back where you started.
