As I said -- I don't really see the need for a bunch of replication
implementations, and therefore I don't see the need for a generic API
to make the whole mess (slightly) more manageable.

It wouldn't -- it's just that if/when such an implementation exists
and everyone who needs replication is using it, a "generic monitoring
API" would be pointless.

Cheers,
