I think the most surprising fact, despite all the amazing work here, is that Comcast helps pay for this kind of research!

Other then that, it's great that we are getting some good results after serious vetting for more modern replacements to ZK. I may not like ZK's crufty-ness, but I could always trust it. Now with these results, I am seriously going to consider Consul as a replacement.

In fact, Comcast has a formal program to fund research grants and open source work. There is a lot more "real" technology in place here at Comcast than one may expect for a telecommunications and entertainment provider.

The ideal project would be something used within Comcast that doesn't otherwise have a corporate sponsor.
