I think it is.  I work with applications at work that run on HP
TruCluster and I can see the advantages of using clustering to
building HA servers.  I may even have an application for it (though
I'll need to study it in more details to confirm that).

It would be preferable if the kernel changes were distributed as
diffs rather than replacement files - that would make it much easier
to identify the changes.

Good.  If we can resolve the licensing issues, this looks good.
