Just to remove any doubt: I'm not trying to support a single use case.

The overall proposals include a variety of design patterns. Each of
those covers many reasons for doing it, but end up with same
architecture.

1) Single master replication, with options not possible with physical
2) Multimaster
3) Many to One: data aggregation
4) Online upgrade

I don't think it will be possible to support all of those in one
release. Each has different challenges.

3 and 4 will not be worked on until 9.4, unless someone else is
willing to work on them. That isn't meant to be harsh, just an
explanation of practical reality that I hope people can accept without
needing to argue it.
