They claim to be real-time, and with kernel hooks into reads/writes,
it seems promising to run on top of the OS..

Maybe I should voice my assumption that a Maildir mailbox would only
be accessed from one server at a time, not both, and Dovecot indexes
would be local and not replicated. And I suppose I'm assuming small
files - which is probably the biggest hole in this active/active theory.
