Most of the Hadoop ecosystem uses RTC. I can't speak to other projects but on the one I chair there's no conspiracy to exclude anyone.
I chair Bigtop. We recently tested a switch to CTR. It went very well and so we just wrapped up a vote to make it the permanent state of affairs. I think this is the best option for Bigtop, which has a small but active group of committers each working in loosely coupled ways on different parts of the tree. I also chair HBase. We were spun out of Hadoop direct to TLP and inherited the RTC ethic from our parent community. I did recently test the state of consensus on RTC vs CTR there and it still holds. I think this model makes sense for HBase, which is a mature (read: complex) code base that implements a distributed database. For sure we want multiple sets of eyes on changes there. They can have unexpected consequences. Almost above all, we want to do due diligence on not introducing bugs that lose user data. So, to each their own? Please.
