which I suspect may become more interesting over time with some of these new 'let process a talk to memory structure b on another node' type technologies (eg RDMA) that scare the hell out of me (incomprehension will do that). I'm fairly sure that Oracle 13synchronicity(TM) will add this sort of thing to RAC (and only another 5 base requirements and 42 layers of complexity).

fortunately we only currently have shared, virtualized disk - so thats fine then :)

I don't know - the one recorded instance of that no money changed hands - stick to the books and advocacy, arguably less important, certainly more remunerated :).
