As staticassertion is mentioning, some of the violations that were found were only around tablet moves, which happen only in certain cluster sizes and quite infrequently. Of course, Jepsen triggers those moves left-right-and-center to evoke some of those failure conditions; but that's not how tablet moves are supposed to work in real world conditions. This is different from other edge cases like process crashes, or machine failures, network partitions, clock skews, etc., which can and do happen. In those cases, Jepsen didn't find any violations.

We were planning to look into those tablet move issues and get them fixed up (shouldn't be that hard), but honestly, the chances of our users encountering them is so low that we de-prioritized that work over some of the other launches that we are doing.

But, we'll fix those up in the next few months, once we have more bandwidth.
