Open Stack

Rather than maintain our own distributed chron, it might be useful to look at:

https://github.com/airbnb/chronos

It might be a bit more heavyweight but it already exists and it is in use by others. We really should avoid writing things from scratch if we can help it. :)

Currently, Qonos performs this work ad hoc and we would like to move away from that model and a system like Convection makes a lot of sense there.
