Pretty sure etcd can do fair locking now :-P

Or reading 
https://coreos.com/etcd/docs/latest/v2/api.html#atomically-creating-in-order-keys 
it seems like we should be able to.

Honestly the APIs of both etcd and zookeeper seem pretty equivalent; 
etcd is a little more k/v oriented (and has key ttls, to a degree) but 
the rest seems nearly identical (which isn't a bad thing).

Etcd I think is also switching to grpc sometime in the future (afaik); 
that feature is in alpha/?beta?/experimental right now.
