We are right now discussing this in our (new) company again. We implemented replication mechanisms similar to ibreplicator (and probably others) on our own, as probably did many people. Yes, having this kind of feature build in would be a big help. Current application design leads to more and more diverse platforms that still can not handle data access online all the time - thus leading to what ever replication needs.
