Update/build from CVS != Update/build from CVS + apply the replication
patches + test them explicitely.

That said, I didn't have the time to test them myself so I feel also
responsible for that.

My point is that what Simon currently has (and so what you tested) is
different from what is going to be commited (note the "final" in what
I wrote) and I suspect there will be a certain number of non
negligible adjustments (see the last discussions between Simon and
Heikki and I don't think Tom has taken a look at these patches yet).

I'm not sure that the beta/rc testing cycle is sufficient for such a
critical feature and that we probably need some time to polish it.

But once again, it's just MVHO.
