Hi all,

The Oslo team is announcing the retirement of the devstack-plugin-pika project [0].

This plugin was introduced as part of the testing infrastructure for a new transport driver based on the Pika client library for RabbitMQ.  This driver was developed as an alternative to the existing Kombu based driver.  Testing of the new driver failed to show a meaningful improvement over the existing Kombu driver so development was dropped.

The Pika driver has long been removed from the Oslo.Messaging project repo.  The Oslo team is unaware of any deployments making use of it.

Patches to remove this project are forthcoming and will use the topic 'retire-devstack-plugin-pika'.

Thanks,
