It would be ideal to integrate the CloudFlare changes

That would be interesting, and some minor ones have already been integrated (eg. 93d6a80).

What's missing:

• TLS-encrypted connections (mostly for secure replication);
• Alternative Base64 implementation, from Google.

These haven't been integrated for two reasons:

• Encrypted replication can be achieved outside the scope of ktserver, but mostly because this would have to be an optional (compile-time) feature and would increase maintenance burden (keeping up with new OpenSSL releases, such as the 1.0.x -> 1.1.x changes);
• The need for an alternative Base64 implementation would have to be demonstrated, beyond the specific reasons why CloudFlare needs it.

I'm not part of Altice Labs anymore, but I would be willing to test them in my fork (https://github.com/carlosefr/kyoto) provided someone would break these modifications into smaller bits/commits.
