Arguably true, but still not optimal :). Contrary to what seems to be the 
average deployment, I also encrypt the cluster replication traffic over the 
wire, so I perhaps have stricter requirements for perfection than generally 
considered ;).

I load tested it pretty heavily including random node restarts and it never 
blipped. We've been running it in production for about a year and a half and I 
haven't seen a single problem (knock on wood). We've probably done at least 4-5 
rolling updates since then where we pulled a node out of the cluster and then 
stuck it back in, I'm unaware of any user facing issues or unnecessary 
re-authentications. In any case, I'm pretty happy with it :), and wouldn't 
really want to trade it out for memcached.

Thanks…
