-
-### Common Questions Anticipated
-1. **How do I enable multi-bridge?**
-   - Answer: Set priority parameter in `initAsBridge()`
-   
-2. **How do I enable message queue?**
-   - Answer: Call `mesh.enableMessageQueue(true)`
-   
-3. **Is this backward compatible?**
-   - Answer: Yes, 100% backward compatible, both features opt-in
-   
-4. **What's the memory impact?**
-   - Answer: ~5-10KB total for both features in typical config
-
-### Known Limitations
-1. Multi-bridge: Maximum recommended 10 bridges
-2. Message queue: Default 50 messages (configurable)
-3. Both features: ESP32/ESP8266 only (hardware constraint)
