When it comes to publishing a changeset to the database you can bracket 
the entire publish in a transaction which might help with some  problems.

but with a large publish of changes to files, you may end up with an 
unclear state, if the systems crash during the publishing process.
Of course the file comparison mode, which can run across the entire 
fileadmin, helps here... but it's made to work with one local and one 
remote instance.
As of now server arrays are just a bit of an edge case inside an edge case.

Right now a lot of work needs go to into the extension so it works 
smoothly with 7.x (it loads and does its job right now, but there are a 
lot of rough edges).
Also a lot of general updating, as you can imagine an extension that 
went into production in 2004 doesn't exactly have the newest coding 
practices.
The end result might have the goal of being a more generalized solution.

Interesting approach, and so you even have versioned content ;)

BTW, is that in TER... ;-)
