While that's true, it wasn't much of a stretch to think that I might
be planning to do more work on replication since I've done that for
years and years now. Also, I do keep requesting GSOC doesn't put such
major tasks out there, but not much heed taken.

Beautiful illustration of a multi-master conflict case though.

Not sure just yet what the resolution is, and it will probably take a
few weeks to resolve that happily.

Glad we're all facing in the same direction, which is the most important thing.
