Well, my understanding is that Sybase's system works, for some value
thereof.  And people apparently do use it for production-grade
systems.  Now, whether _I_ would do so is another matter.

But people really do seem to need to hear that multimaster
replication of any kind is a _hard problem_.  This isn't something
you're gonna throw together in a day.
