README: clarify etcd's use of raft #241

Closed philips closed 9 years ago

philips commented 10 years ago

etcd has since started using a new raft implementation that more cleanly separates the state machine from the log and RPC layer. Let people know about this change.

The etcd developers (@xiangli-cmu and @unihorn) have done quite a bit of maintenance on this library until now. However, as our new raft library has matured and the 0.4 branch of etcd goes into maintenance mode the goraft project needs new maintainers. Particularly since we have a few issues piling up: #239, #238, #235, #233 and #240.

Does any have a suggestion on who should take over maintenance?

@philips I would suggest just adding an "unmaintained" shield and a call for maintainers at the top of the README.

@benbjohnson this seems reasonable. I will do that.
