Great! Thanks for highlighting ListenableFuture for a start. Given the size of jclouds (about 400kLOC of production code with a stupid wc -l) and my inexperience of its codebase, I need help to know where to start. :) I'll see what I can do about it. Do you want to create an issue that describes this work and what you expect out of it?
You also mentioned that some public APIs return `ImmutableMap`. Have these methods been deprecated in favour of an overload returning a `Map`?
