10 years old and still relevant. Gil created a wrk fork https://github.com/giltene/wrk2 to handle coordinated omission better. I used using his fork for many years. But I think he stopped updating it after a while.

Good load testing tools will have modes to send in data at a fixed rate regardless of other requests to handle coordinated omission. k6 for instance defined these modes are "open" and "closed": https://grafana.com/docs/k6/latest/using-k6/scenarios/concep.... They mention the term "coordinated omission" on the page however I feel like they could have given a nod to Gil for the inventing term.
