My (admittedly muddled) thoughts on reading Noon's comments were:
Maybe this could really be an extension, conceptually anyways, of
private redo log threads (including the part about falling back to
"old ways" when the "new ways" are inappropriate);  and not to
discount the Exadata ability to write the same thing to different
devices including non-volatile memory - why assume that architecture
would stay specific to Exadata (aside from the obvious milking maximum
money)?  Which kind of begs the question of how to deal with redo when
you have no spinning rust at all (as already kind-of asked on the
forums, and there was a Linus Q&A session on /. where he mentioned his
personal machine).

The stock market discounts 6-12 months ahead.  Physical DB
architecture has to think 5-10 years ahead.
