After discussing with the other committers on the project we have decided to remove the clustering feature in ATS 7.0.0.
There are people in the community that are using configuration management (Puppet, Chef, Salt, etc.) for large installations. If you need help on syncing configuration outside of ATS, there is a very good chance other people in the community would be willing to help. This might be a great opportunity to add some tools or examples to ATS to help out other people in the community with configuration management.
