Off list, I would be curious what trouble you have seen and what kind of
volume you are dealing with. We have not had any trouble with this type
of thing, but I would like to know if we are headed for it.

I can't speak for the mysql team, but at the talk I attended at OSCON
this was at best thought of as a really, really bad decision. From what
I know, the synchronous nature of the replication between nodes would
make for bad delay of data across the T3.
Someone may correct me on this.
