Would such a thing be useful, or simply overly redundant considering the

Since each system that I've seen has their limitations, having yet another
system can't hurt ... the fact that there are various reference models
available just adds to the pool of ideas on how to improve, IMHO ...

I think there is plenty of interest in different replication systems,
and that people are always keen to see new ideas. I would suggest,
however, comparing it with the other systems out there and
investigating whether there are things you'd like to offer to or use
from those systems, in order that we can build two or three usable
systems which do what people want (I don't think one system is ever
going to do everything for everyone).
