It's a shame that the 2 or 3 times I've tried to organise purchase of ZRS for customers, the Zope Corp sales process hasn't succeeded in delivering anything :-(

I disagree.
You disagree that I failed to purchase ZRS from Zope Corp both times I tried? ;-)
The kind of fault tolerance ZRS provides is hard to achieve without a lot of either time or money.
Indeed, but when it's easier to get two hearbeat-failover'd servers and some SAN to put the storage on, or go for clustered-MySQL-as-a-service and RelStorage or ZEORAID, it's a bit of a moot point...
I suspect ZRS is less expensive than a new replicated Oracle setup, or paying a developer to invent something new.
I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, I wish getting hold of ZRS was easier (not necessarily cheaper!)... Chris
