Yes, he was badly beaten up about it, but I felt that the code as is was
pretty good, considering how bad CLUSTER is. If people are told the
limitations, it could be a win.

I felt that the more advanced features like not using 2x disk space were
quite hard to implement, considering the other TODO items. Marc agreed
and was going to e-mail him to tell him that with proper user warning,
we wanted the patch.

Do people disagree?
