What are the 'endpoints' here? Are these internal to the oslo.messaging 
library, or external to it?

I guess my question is how effectively does it hide it? If the answer to 
the above is that this change can be contained within the oslo.messaging 
implementation itself, then that would suggest its hidden reasonably well.

If, as I first understood (perhaps wrongly) it required changes to every 
use of the oslo.messaging API, then it wouldn't really be hidden.

The oslo.messaging API could evolve/expand to include explicitly 
asynchronous methods that did not directly expose Trollius.
