Great summary. It's worth

Great summary.

It's worth mentioning that in D7, the Batch API internally uses the Queue API (with dedicated queue handlers, to ensure FIFO ordering) to store the list of batch operations.

There's a smell of interesting things lying in a deeper unification of the concepts of queues and batches in D8. Batch API can be seen as a mere 'queue consumer with a UI'...
