A little bit. That would be one of the pieces that needs to be done if we were
to adopt it.

Just high level brainstorming, but I think we would need something like we have
now with using tooz where if it is configured for it, it will use etcd for
distributed locking. And for single node installs it just defaults to file
locks.
