On the technical side it would make a lot of sense to actually support 
the strongest replication system, that has been though the test of time 
for cross platform, cross version upgrade for a decade now.

But then again, that would mean to invest in people and that means 
becoming dependent on individuals. So on the business side it doesn't 
make that much sense. Hire and fire businesses like Amazon cannot depend 
on skilled individuals.
