Yep, good question.

AFAIR we discussed this at the last Oslo IRC meeting and decided that
re-factoring will wait until Icehouse so we can more easily sync fixes
from oslo-incubator to oslo.messaging.

Porting Quantum, Cinder, Ceilometer and Heat, memoving the code from
oslo-incubator and re-factoring the drivers in oslo.messaging would be
goals for early on in the Icehouse cycle.
