At the very real risk of "talk is cheap," my understanding is that is part of why Jepsen publishes the test suites (e.g. https://github.com/jepsen-io/etcd ) so it's not "take my word for it" but rather "lein run test-all" and watch the fireworks. So, a sufficiently motivated actor, say for example one of the deep-pocketed stewards of the Kubernetes project could run the tests themselves

Between my indescribable hatred for etcd and my long-held lust for a pluggable KV backend (https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/1957 et al) it'd be awesome if any provable KV safety violations were finally the evidence required for them to take that request seriously

Having looked at the test suite already, I know enough to know that I don't understand it well enough to be that guy to do this. It's for this reason, I'm personally going to pull out the popcorn and see what happens over the next few weeks.
