We still have a long way to go but this should everyone a good technology preview.
Some risks to note:
*Their is a risk of a database crash if the memcached data is curropted ( i.e. bad packets/other weirdness )
*Full table scans are slower with waffle then non-waffle, we are looking into this
*You really need 1Gbe connection between the servers
*This is experimental... treat it as such
*In rare cases, it may casue the extinction of humanity...
other then that nothing else serious
