I think something like that would be valuable, especially in conjunction 
with some application layer proxying and mapping between 'virtual' 
addresses/endpoints and specific queues/virtual hosts/brokers.

That would allow people to use the brokers, protocols and semantics they 
are already familiar with, combine different systems even, and have 
self-provisioning and scalability on top of it, with varying degrees of 
isolation for tenants.

I'd love to read the feedback if you have any links. While I agree 
overlap is rarely total, I suspect there will be quite a bit and that it 
will grow as each approach evolves. That emphatically does not mean I 
think Zaqar should in any way be held back though, just that I think the 
openstack community should anticipate and indeed encourage other 
approaches also.
