Would it be a good time to ask for the current status of this KIP? I haven't seen much activity here for the past 2 months, the vote got vetoed but I think the pending questions have been answered since then. KIP-1183 (AutoMQ's proposal) also didn't have any activity since May.
In my eyes KIP-1150 and KIP-1183 are two real choices that can be made, with a coordinator-based approach being by far the dominant one when it comes to market adoption - but all these are standalone products. I'm a big fan of both approaches, but would hate to see a stall. So the question is: can we get an update? Maybe it's time to start another vote? Colin McCabe - have your questions been answered? If not, is there anything I can do to help? I'm deeply familiar with both architectures and have written about both?
