It's an interesting idea.  Seems nontrivial to me to accomplish
this...

Another way to regard this would be say that you have some set of
partitions, where events internal to the partition are not exposed
outside of the partition.

That would indeed admit a way to scale the number of nodes higher;
having (say) clusters of 3 nodes at each site, where the local events
only stay at the site, would mean that the present situation where
each event must be confirmed by *ALL* nodes would be alleviated.

How that would work is an interesting question...
