In general, I would recommend specifying as few special attribute as
possible.  If WQ_UNBOUND is necessary (large amount of CPU cycles
consumed, extremely high concurrency), sure, but I think we're
generally better off using as default attributes as possible.  It just
makes things much easier later when we need to implement new features
or update the implementation.

If freezing & nrt is everything necessary, just create
system_nrt_freezable_wq and use that.

Thanks.
