That will provide excellent comfort to the users.

HaplessUser: Your replication crashed and took all of my slaves with
it, and then my primary database crashed and I had an outage!  You
cost me $BIGNUM dollars in downtime!

MySQLSupport: Well, at least replication is built in!

HaplessUser: But it's broken!  You broke my database!  I lost data!
This is buggy!  Why am I paying you?

MySQLSupport: Built in!  Built in!  Built in! LALALALA.

Yep.  Comforting, that.
