Yes. Eventual consistent doesn't mean inconsistent, but eventually it will be. That means under a network partition (P of th CAP Theorem) things should converge

Yes. Eventual consistent doesn't mean inconsistent, but eventually it will be. That means under a network partition (P of th CAP Theorem) things should converge after the network converges. This is precisely the type of semantic that Aphyr wrote Jepsen for. See his testing of Cassandra (eventually consistent) or the CockroachDB team (eventually consistent) or Risk (eventually consistent) running Jespsen to prove things work as expected.
