I see eventual consistency here as a bit of copout. it really does limit the applicability of the approach by making really not obvious when things are starting to decohere. Someone else mentioned Alvaro in this thread, and I think thats a really fruitful body of work to look for answers that don't require a strong central serialization agent. Monotonicity, vector clocks, multi-panos style domain partitioning, these are partial answers for making this kind of thing be a foundation you can reason about and still scale.
