You disagree that I failed to purchase ZRS from Zope Corp both times I 
tried? ;-)

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'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, I wish getting hold of ZRS was 
easier (not necessarily cheaper!)...
