Open Stack

Do we have a good understanding of what is expected of zmq wrt rabbitMQ?
Like in what part of the bell curve or use cases would you see it? Or
indirectly, where do we see RabbitMQ lacking today that maybe ZMQ could
handle better?
I have tried to find any information on very large scale deployment of
OpenStack and could not get a firm number (in terms of number of compute
nodes).
Does the OpenStack foundation keeps track of this information somewhere?
