Maybe I wasn't clear... GUN does have Eventual consistency, but not strong/global consistency.

Aka GUN is AP and Eventually consistent. You manually at the application layer can decide to lock, sacrificing Availability, and get strong consistency.

The merge algorithm works in an Eventually consistent case, but obviously is too naive for global Consistency, you'd need some form of consensus.

Or does that not address your comment?
