Really?  I hadn't picked up on that.  That makes for a lot of
complication on crash-and-recovery of a master, but if we can pull
it off, that's really cool.  If we do that and MySQL doesn't, we
definitely don't want to use the same terminology they do, which
would imply the same behavior.
 
Apologies for not picking up on that aspect of the implementation.
