 This is almost verbatim how I have things setup for another project so some usage is limited because of how it was originally written:
 
 * Queue driver defaults to beanstalkd if not explicitly set
-* There is no way to generate a supervisor program without `--queue=[queue]` right now
 
 All of these are simple fixes though! Check out issues to see these and more and if you need them please make a PR!
