Flavio,

PIka is an unknown quantity at the moment as none of us have touched
it. It was brought up by rabbitmq folks. So someone should look at it.
We don't have have enough info either to say we should use Pika by
itself or as a kombu driver. We may have to make that determination at
some point in the future if indeed pika is so much better. We don't
have anyone in the Kombu community either...and Pika will need to pass
the python34, licensing etc as well to be considered in addition to
the performance.

thanks,
dims
