Also, if I remember the Postgres SR bug correctly, this kind of check that Percona provides would not have helped with
thiskind of bug. The corruption did not occur *during* replication but only if you restarted the slave because
transactionswere falsely marked as commited or non-commited when the slave came up again. You might have noticed the
corruptionearlier, though.

I actually think this would a need thing to have (for pre-production) test environments, like alpha or beta testing.
