This item was not updated in last three versions of the Radar. Should it have appeared in one of the more recent editions, there is a good chance it remains pertinent. However, if the item dates back further, its relevance may have diminished and our current evaluation could vary. Regrettably, our capacity to consistently revisit items from past Radar editions is limited.

Why?
In certain scenarios, multiple devices must cooperate - for example when one device is aggregating signals from other devices. In such a case, one device needs to be elected a leader of a group, in a deterministic and consistent way.
What?
Evaluate options for how to implement the leader election interface for edge apps. Should it be via the EVP hub, or peer to peer? Integrate into the device stack and expose via WASI extension. Prototype an application which uses this service.
