When I see a new distributed database, the first thing I want to know is "Is it AP or CP?"

If you haven't answered that question yourself, it's likely you have a partition-intolerant system, and that in real-life scenarios people will lose data.

CP in a single site. Between sites, I haven't considered it too much.
Do you think you could write more about this?
