I can understand the concerns about the plugability of Zookeeper/Etcd. It would not be good for Kafka community if it splits into several groups using different implementations.
On the other hand, Zookeeper development seems to be a bit stalled. So maybe there should be at least a discussion whether it makes sense to replace Zookeeper with something like Etcd or not.
