I second this part.

I need conditional replication, but personally I'm not fond of the 
depends-on row chaining stuff. And I think there are simpler ways to get 
the conditional replication, but unfortunately I haven't had time to 
work on proving that yet, so I could be wrong ;-)

I don't think you'll get much feedback from dbmirror users on PATCHES -- 
it might be a good idea to solicit input on GENERAL or maybe the gborg 
replication list.
