I think it depends a lot on how you define "cluster stack" and
whether the solution to the current dilemma needs one (for example,
if the answer is simply a DLM then several examples have already
surfaced elsewhere in this thread and the cross-project subthread).

I couldn't agree more. If the need is already met by an available
solution which can be reused, that seems better for everyone. I just
get concerned when I see messages which state there is only one
technology choice and that choice is <insert product my employer
makes money selling/supporting>. Acknowledging alternatives makes
for a much less fanatical discussion.
