The result of your poll is exactly my fear -- p99 seems to be at the peak of the hype cycle. I am totally a fan of Gil's work, but I think he over-dramatized the impact of tail latency, with the rather extreme example of "If a typical user session involves 5 pages loads, averaging 40 resources per page" from his talk. Regarding coordinated omission, I am not totally convinced that an open-model system is what happens in production, and I am actually fine with a closed-model system when running benchmark, as long as p100 is acceptable. My goal is to achieve the maximum TPS without stalling, and I don't really care that much whether p99 is 10ms or 100ms.
