  • No one was using the DNS-backed key-value store
  • The removal of the etcd library dropped the executable size by over half from 17MB to 7MB
  • I didn't want users who've deployed it internally to be "surprised" by unexpected key-value features
  • Key-value-over-DNS has a seamy side to it: "data exfiltration". I know there are legitimate uses for it, but I've come to believe that a Key-value-over-HTTP solution is preferable because it's not only more legitimate but also because it eliminates the DNS caching problem.
