OK, for those who haven't followed COLO for so long; 'continuous
replication' is when after the first primary fails, you can promote the 
original secondary to a new primary and start replicating again;

i.e. current COLO gives you

p<->s
    <primary fails>
    s

with your patches you can do

    s becomes p2
    p2<->s2

and you're back to being resilient again.

Which is great; because that was always an important missing piece.

Do you have some test scripts/setup for this - it would be great
to automate some testing.
