This discussion has gone in a few directions, and I'm not really sure where to go from here. I don't know what actionable items I can take.
The things people are suggesting stay, rather than move out, are things I would argue are perfect to move out. The Perl and Python language bindings, for example, are things that I think could be great candidates to move out, because they don't need to be released as often, so long as they only depend on the stable API of the C client library (which I'm not sure about... there's a lot of "IF"s in my opinion here). The most immediate contrib I'll could address is the fatjar. I've already butted against it with my PR at https://github.com/apache/zookeeper/pull/1314 . I think it could be improved, along with the zookeeper-assembly module, by combining them and using profiles, but I will need to experiment after I wrap up some of my other PRs/change proposals.
