   To make things a little bit more clear:
   
   As mentioned in the introductory post, Consul was never used for its feature richness in OpenWhisk. Rather, we used to use it as a mechanism for state sharing and configuration storing.
   
   The state sharing has been eradicated for various reasons (performance and correctness being the most significant ones). The current OpenWhisk architecture has a lot cleaner cut concerns when it comes to where the state lives and how its built up.
   
   The configuration storing bit of it was just plain annoying and non-standard with regards to how deployment tools like ansible work. It also made for further deviation from alternative deployment mechanisms (Compose, Kube, Mesos).
