It seems to me that lots of the "stuff" in Slony-I could be reapplied
to _try_ to create an asynchronous multimaster replication system.
A *major* addition would need to be some form of "conflicts queue."
That's the sort of thing they have in the analagous "O-word"
replication system.
What's a non-starter is to try to reshape the Slony-I project into
"async multimaster." That would get considerable push-back :-).
But if someone decided to "fork" their own *new* project, perhaps
starting based on one of the releases, that would an entirely
interesting idea.
