While I understand it takes effort to maintain the replication plugin, this is especially problematic for small active/active high-availability deployments.
To clarify: replication absolutely does not provide "active/active". Replication was meant to copy data to a standby server, but you can't have concurrent mailbox access. This is why directors existed.
That simply isn't true, and I am baffled that you don't know that replication works with a two server active/active setup for years now! Two separate instances (active/active) on two different continents are a completely reliable failover scenario for years now.
Very irritating to read such a statement.
