You must be gauging a different market from the one I'm in. I have just
come back from a meeting with a (quite technically savvy) customer who
was quite excited by the news and saw the possibility of read-only
slaves as a nice to have extra rather than a must-have-or-it's-not-worth
anything feature.
I'm really quite astounded and rather saddened by the waves of
negativity I have seen today.
