Open Stack

So just out of curiosity, but do people really even know what etcd is 
good for? I am thinking that there should be some guidance from folks in 
the community as to where etcd should be used and where it shouldn't 
(otherwise we just all end up in a mess).

Perhaps a good idea to actually give examples of how it should be used, 
how it shouldn't be used, what it offers, what it doesn't... Or at least 
provide links for people to read up on this.

Thoughts?
