I'll first do the bug analysis and deployment doc. Hopefully the draft 
will be finished next week.

If it’s only interesting to you, we might split the driver out of oslo.messaging and let you maintain it separately. If there is wide interest, I would lean towards keeping it in the tree where it is now.
Yes, it makes sense. I'm not sure who is using it or trying to use it. 
As far as I know, ZeroMQ never got attention although it is the only 
broker-less method in OpenStack.
