I think a large problem is open source projects actively marketing themselves, and seeking large user bases. This leads to a wasteland of zombie frameworks, and developers selling out (so to speak) in exchange for the reputation. It is important to note, too, that etcd is permissively licensed and anyone can run the old version in whatever way they please. The final, and biggest, takeaway? Hackernews apparently has drank the koolaid and will reach for any convenient justification to write off an opinion they disagree with. Stockholm syndrome all through the comments. Conservatism and pragmatism apparently are no longer current in the cloud economy.
