Weeeell. My opinon is that of someone doing AXFR replication,
and seeing the bad side of that, and thinking that on the other
side of the fence, the grass is greener.

If you're having problems with mysql replication, then look at
the problems I have with AXFR replication, and maybe you'll
decide that AXFR replication is better in your situation.

I know that AXFR replication can get me a call saying "how come
my domain is not up to date on the secondary", but I've never
ever come close to even thinking that something might ever
impact *all* my domains.

HTH.
