> Following that conclusion is using Galera cluster may result in “corrupted” data. I do not quite like the usage of the word “corrupted” here. For me, the more correct word be to use is “inconsistent”.

But Aphyr never once uses the term "corrupted data", or the word "corrupted". If you're going to quote an article, it's important to be precise.

This response feels panicked, or at least rushed. And it really misses the point. You can't, or shouldn't, try to explain away these types of findings as irrelevant, or just an issue of semantics. Instead, I'd hope by now that technical folks on the receiving end of a Call Me Maybe analysis would have learned that there's precisely one correct way to respond: acknowledge the faults, clarify relevant documentation, and file (and link to) issues in public issue-trackers that will address the problems.

HashiCorp, CoreOS, and arguably Elastic played it correctly. Aerospike, Mesos, and now Percona, didn't. Shame.
