Uh, how do you get that? Clustering implies
networking, and Matt has repeatedly stated that
he doesn't really care about network performance.

And clustering implies servers, which Matt has
recently and repeatedly stated aren't his focal
point. I don't see how you can have one as a goal
and not the other. Clustering required hightly
efficient networking first and foremost.
