Not just keep-alive, the Salt needs libzmq version 3 for IPv6 support.

The Salt authors state that libzmq version 2 is often unreliable,
the version 3 now solves most of their reliability/stability issues.

It's not just py-salt, another port relying on version 3 of libzmq
is amavisd-new, as version 2 of libzmq does not support IPv6
and version 3 does.

IMO the devel/zmq should switch to zmq version 3.2.4
which is now in devel/zmq-devel, and the zmq-devel should
switch to version 4.

Also the perl module ZeroMQ (port net/p5-ZeroMQ) is no longer maintained
and should be supplemented by perl modules  by the same author:
ZMQ-Constants, ZMQ-LibZMQ3, ZMQ, (and ZMQ-LibZMQ2 for backward
compatibility with old libzmq).
