"Large-scale" meaning large numbers of ZEO clients, that mount 
multiple ZEO-served databases that are each replicated using 
ZRS (Zope Corp.'s replication / failover solution) :^)

The changes have to do with coordination of transaction commit among 
multiple databases, manageability and fault-tolerance. I'll ask 
Jeremy to be sure to update the CHANGES.txt with the important 
changes.
