Well, it was "hoped for" in the last release. Not sure it's ever been 
"promised". Don't know who would be in a position to promise such a thing.

Of course what they're trying to get is: simple, reliable, flexible, 
efficient replication working. One or two of those is easy, it's having 
the lot together that's creating the work I think.
