Of course, there might be way more efficient protocols to support P2P
replication, but the tradeoff is reasonable, I think.
This is precisely where I see a different protocol being more useful.
I've avoided using Couch in a couple of large, distributed applications
because I really don't want to bite off the management of large numbers
of 2-party links for replication. A P2P or multi-cast protocol would
avoid that problem.
