While the replication features in 0.8 are very desirable for us, one aspect of 
0.7 that was also appealing was that in specific scenarios a single broker 
instance could run by itself without an accompanying Zookeeper.  

This provided a lightweight "entry point" for log flows by running lots of 
single-instance Kafka brokers for local durability, then running other code 
(like MirrorMaker) to propagate local data from those single-instance brokers 
to shared broker clusters for further processing by other applications. 

Is this scenario no longer achievable with 0.8? Will it be on the roadmap again?
