You could even add shared-nothing vs. shared-disk nodes.

Generally I'd say it makes sense to 'educate' people, but does it really
make sense to explain all that if there is no replication solution for
most of these combinations?

I'd vote for an external (not in the documentation) information site
about replication solutions. There we can put all the information we see
fit (even 'journalistic' ones).

I might change my mind once we have multiple replication solutions
covering most situations. ;-)

I like what and how Chris wrote [1] - an overview over existing and
upcomming replication solutions.
