Those ideas are valid; the features are bounded by resource
constraints of time and money, as well as by technical skills/
capacities of my fellow developers. My analysis has been that
implementing parallelism has lower benefit/cost ratio than other
features, as well as requiring more expensive servers (for MPP). I
expect MPP to be an eventual end goal from BDR project.

Yes

This was more to draw attention to the work so that all interested
parties can participate in producing something useful.
