My suggestion is that the docs should mention only the pure existence of
important third-party packages and projects in those places where it
talks about the deficits that are supposedly fixed by those.
E. G. "There are some third-party packages and projects that aim to
provide multi-master replication, you can search for more information at
http://[unofficial wiki page url] or your favourite search engine.
This way, the docs stay neutral, but point the user to possible
solutions of his problem.
HTH,
Markus
