Open Stack

I started the following issue on kombu's github page (to see if there is 
any interest on there side to such an effort):

https://github.com/celery/kombu/issues/430

It's about seeing if the kombu folks would be ok with a 'rpc' subfolder 
in there repository that can start to contain 'rpc' like functionality 
that now exists in oslo.messaging (I don't see why they would be against 
this kind of idea, since it seems to make sense IMHO).

Let's see what happens,
