I have indeed wondered myself, my post a few weeks highlighting a few problems with Orion's UserManager, which I would've imagined a rather serious problem and in need of attention. The clustering has never worked flawlessy for me since first tried in 1.4.0.
My guess would be the involvement with Oracle, afterall the 9iAS initiative surely promotes positive cashflow... as apposed to supporting Orion.
