Cool, so you sure seem to be the right person for summarizing the PgCon
2010 clustering meeting.

Uhm.. not sure if you'll get *short* answers, but well... :-)   let's
try anyway.

Dependency tracking? I'm not sure what you mean here. I think there's a
lot of code duplication in all of the clustering projects (and people
continue to add even more). IMO the real purpose behind that list is to
combine some of that code into a common component. Only then the
individual projects can adapt to depend on that component (instead of
their inferior custom duplicate variant).

Hehe.. as with all replication mailing lists so far. (And the
change-the-name one as well). Creation of mailing lists by itself
obviously (and sadly) doesn't solve problems.
