Some how I get the impression that I've been completely misunderstood. 
Somehow, people seem to of only read the subject and skipped the body
explaining the concept.

In what way would providing a generic interface to *monitor* be a "waste
of time"?  In what way would that prevent someone from "producing a
*readlly good* replication implementation"?  I utterly fail to see the
connection.
