A serious issue with the lack of developer support is that other areas of the code suffers. Meaning, we have a hard time making progress with other areas (like metrics, or configurations), because we don’t have anyone who’s testing and maintaining the clustering feature. This is a tough one though, the general feature is useful, but we’re seriously crippling ourselves with an unsupported legacy system. +0 from me as well. — Leif
