Looks like a very cool tool -- could replace Zookeeper with saner admin requirements -- but I'm more interested in the tech. AP systems (such as Serf, on which Consul is built) have many advantages and I think we're only just beginning to see their adoption. I believe CRDTs are the missing ingredient to restore sanity to inconsistent data. Add that and I can see a lot more such systems being deployed in the future (and particularly in mine :-)
