As one of the folks that work on replication for Postgres, part of where
I come from is in attempting to have solutions that attempt to be
reasonably general purpose.
It sounds as though you might have a set of business policy that lends
itself to creating a distributable system. If that's the case, then
that has a few implications:
a) It's a good thing for you; if the things that come up are readily
resolvable, then you can build a system on that basis.
b) It doesn't lend itself to being a general purpose solution, which
somewhat limits community interest.
