After all the work, that's a sad question. What I see are too-large
patches done in "I want to try this yet I've not defined a clean
problem statement" directions, which stress other people, create lots
of discussion and other patches, and then ultimately in "do we really
need it?"

Having to ask this question is totally, horribly wrong. I've
personally spent something like 30-40 hours on the containers, mostly
driven by the original zdlist patch. That seems to be about 75% wasted
time.

This is what the whole process is about. I'm going to ask people who
contribute to CZMQ to read the C4 document again and again until this
kind of thrashing ends.

Anyhow, please don't remove zring, if it ends up being unused, it'll
die naturally.
