This will not be done, considering the time constraints. We want to put the

I think this is being worked on. Will check.

Disagree. Clustering is still very very useful. Once a remote call reaches a
cluster node all interaction will be local, at least in the first version of
the clustering, so there is no need for distributed transactions initially.
