There was a discussion[*] during TC office hours three weeks ago
wherein we rehashed a general desire to see eventlet usage decline
within OpenStack services (we recognize that the volunteer workforce
needed to rearchitect existing eventlet-using services simply
doesn't exist, though it was suggested in jest as a potential
community goal). At a minimum, there seemed to be some consensus
that we should strongly discourage new uses of eventlet because its
stdlib monkey-patching has created all manner of incompatibilities
with other libraries in the past. Most recently it seems to be
hampering etcd adoption, which we had as a community previously
agreed on using to provide a consistent DLM implementation across
projects.
