Well, with a centralized membership control driver such as zookeeper or
accord (I'd like to built-in accord driver(possibly a simplified and
tailored for sheep) in the sheepdog repo for better development), I
think the network partition problem can be virtual gone with a
well-written software, that collaborate with sheep to minimize the
chances of NP happening rather than intend to solve it after it happens.
