Part of open source is the freedom to do whatever you want, of course.

Let me ask though; What problems would zookeeper, etcd or other systems
solve that can't be solved in corosync?

I ask because the HA community just finished a multi-year effort to
merge different projects into one common HA stack. This has a lot of
benefits to the user base, not least of which is lack of confusion.

Strikes me that the significant time investment in supporting a new
comms layer would be much more beneficially spent on improving the
existing stack.

Again, anyone is free to do whatever they want... I just don't see the
motivator personally.
