This is exactly the kind of adoption we're looking forward to. I
don't think there'll be support for Zaqar in oslo.messaging - they simply have
different goals - but Zaqar would be a good fit for the use-cases that
sahara, trove and designate have (I believe we're talking about agents
communication).

This call, however, belongs to the project's owners and maintainers.
Since I believe Zaqar is a good project for OpenStack and I know there
are folks - like yourself - that believe so too, I'm raising this warn
so that people know what might happen to the project if it doesn't get
some help from "the inner-outside world"
