Very cool - looking forward to reading it with the new replication options in 5.1

Replication Chapter Revamped
----------------------------
We have completely reworked the replication chapter for the 5.1 manual.
This targets a number of issues, including a major redesign (to make it
easier to read and find topics), some updates to the information and
processes, and incorporation of numerous bug fixes. You can see the new
chapter here:

* http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/replication.html

The main features:

* New layout. We've ripped apart the old chapter format and replaced it
  with a new one. No information has been lost, although a lot of it has
  been moved around.

* We now have four distinct sections:
  - Replication Configuration - includes details on setup (including How
    To notes), options and variables, replication formats, and a new
    section on common replication tasks.
  - Replication Solutions - this is designed to feature specific
    scenarios where replication is used. For example, it contains the
    scale-out solution that was in the FAQ, along with specific notes
    and guides on backups, splitting replication, and SSL.
  - Replication Notes and Tips - this collects together sections that
    were spread about the old structure, including upgrades,
    compatibility, known features and issues and the FAQ.
  - Replication Implementation - the innards of the replication system
    and how it works.

In all cases we've either rewritten or hugely expanded the information,
and there are also new illustrations with a consistent look and feel to
describe layouts and architecture. The new structure will make it easier
to add new functionality, scenarios and background information. For
example, one other section that is planned, but not in the current
documentation yet, is Replication Topologies. Other planned mprovements,
such as the MBR/SBR/RBR decision table and implicit commit tables now
have a more suitable home in the Replication Implementation section.

Regards,

Stefan
