And I agree with that statement.  Capping isn't the right solution.  By the
same token uncapping isn't eaither as we know we'll cause breakage.

I understand that your blocked, but blocking the other team isn't the solution
either.

I think the solution is pretty simple. Just Fix it.  I'm not saying it's easy
but it is *simple*.  We're a group of skilled individuals We have several ways
forward which just haven't been done in the last 8 months.  Waiting doesn't seem
to be a viable course anymore.

From my POV this really feels more like a social problem then a technical one.
I'd like to remind everyone with a technical stake in this that it's OpenStack
First, Project Team Second[1].  The thing that's best for OpenStack is for the
oslo.mesaging and monasca teams to come together and find a path forward.  It's
really great that this thread has started that process!

Other people are much better placed to define the way forward, clearly fixing
python-kafka is the best option which almost certainly means joining that
community.

Worst case if we really can't find a way forward, monasca can just vendor/fork
python-kafka 0.X and we'll all admit defeat.

Yours Tony.
