Thanks Ted and Matt.

So it seems 0MQ has to go, which shouldn’t be too much of a problem since we 
have a Netty-based transport.

Currently the default transport for Storm is 0MQ, with Netty being an optional 
alternative. I think we just need to reverse that, so that Netty is the default 
transport, and the 0MQ transport is a separate project (outside Apache, perhaps 
on Nathan’s github account) so that anyone hell bent on using 0MQ can do so if 
desired.
