+* Add new option `[messaging].prefix` to configure the prefix used in RabbitMQ exchanges and queues.
+  The default is `st2` (resulting in exchange names like `st2.execution` and `st2.sensor`).
+  This is primarily designed to support safely running tests in parallel where creating a vhost for
+  each parallel test run would be a maintenance burden. #6282
