By allowing reading stale data from Consul KV and Catalog, any container can pull the data from any Consul node even when its leader is gone. This will make container less-dependent on Consul leader while also gives Consul cluster re-established (either automatically/manually).
To allow reading stale data, consulate should be replaced by python-consul as the latter support richer features, including consistency mode.

Note, consul-template also has max-stale option to allow reading stale data from Consul Catalog

Latest images support this consistency mode
