Exactly. And as you have correctly read between the lines, my real point
is that people are looking at replication from different points of view
and that everyone sees a different benefit from it, or a different set
of problems solved by it. And because of that, a statement like "the
ease of setting up replication" is a marketing phrase that has no value.
