The README on github has a better explanation of how it works, and as I suspected, this could also be achieved with Tungsten Replicator.

Good job though. Anything that helps people move away from Percona and their "tooling" is a plus to me.

Why do you think people should move away from Percona?

The Percona Toolkit is a quite messy codebase and the tools offer an abdunant amount of features, but still they are useful.

Percona are flogging a dead horse called "Oracle" while at the same time basically being an Oracle subsidiary without being Oracle, but it's basically Oracle wrapped in scary perl scripts with backported features from better forks.

If you were to meet me in person I would just say "Fuck Percona/Oracle and their shitty shit".
