Thomas thats an interesting read and I understand you've been struggling
with Zookeeper for a while. The PMD stats are indeed a bit frustrating,
as really what PMD records is technical debt, and ZK has quite a bit of
debt built up.
We've built a rather interesting service orchestration, called
Ensemble[1], on top of Zookeeper, and would be very interested in
adopting its maintenance in Debian.
