Somewhat tangential, but I'm kind of sad that not much more was done with pg_paxos[1].
Group Replication[2] just made it into MySQL 5.7.17 and is GA; it uses a variant of Paxos to commit transactions. Even though most people will probably do fine with streaming replication or semisync, it would be nice to have support in Postgres for use cases that need an even stronger level of consistency.
