CASPaxos has been on our radar for a while.
It'd be a fantastic implementation for "CAS a registry" e.g. for configuration.
Internal for the system use cases include: registry and configuration, perhaps "singleton location" where we could CAS which member is to host the singleton, potentially membership (??? though there'd be various tradeoffs with the convergence one). For end users it'd be a great alternative to do "atomic distributed registry"
