What is the use case?
In case it wasn't clear, I didn't mean my message above to sound like a "no, we won't take this". Instead, I'm trying to understand the use case better. Perhaps there is room for both replication and HA in OVSDB, but before I say "yes" to that, I want to understand both cases.
