KafkaStream, ConsumerConnector, and 0.8

By centralizing offset management (with the new Commit/FetchOffsets 
APIs), consuming is now much simpler and no longer relies on clients 
connecting directly to ZooKeeper.

As such, I'm wondering what the fate of ZookeeperConsumerConnector is. 
Will it continue to be supported, or will it be replaced by a non-ZK 
implementation (one that uses SimpleConsumer maybe?).

We've been collecting feedback on a client re-design proposal for Kafka
0.9. Feel free to add comments on the wikis.
