I do feel like decisions like this need to uplevel from just the library
maintainers, because it's a think that as a community we need to all be
willing to stand up and support the way OpenStack works, for some
definition of that. Otherwise we're going to get into a situation where
a lot of projects are just going to say: oh, not rabbit, go talk to
those folks instead. Nothing infuriates people more than support
telephone tag.

I don't think that's a situation we want to put the oslo-messaging team
in, and I don't think it's the way we want to work as a community.
