On Wednesday, after consulting with Jakub and Vince, I posted to Discuss about distributed updates and eventual consistency and mentioned it on the #development channel. The point is to get some conversation going about how to deal with these issues, and whether the project needs to have some more support for the relevant micro services techniques or come to some best practices. There were some positive reactions in Slack, though no conversation, neither in Slack nor Discuss. The topic fits well with Vince's RFC for an asynchronous event service.

Does it make sense to prod the dev community a little more to have a discussion on how we manage updates with distributed data store? And if so, what would be an effective way to do it? Target a few key developers?

Alternately, I could wait for Vince to have his RFC ready for review, but it seems like this sort of discussion could lay groundwork for more enthusiastic support for the asynchronous event service.
