Ah, i think you're right, but that's a different problem. The Jepsen talks are enlightening, as so many errors get highlighted. Ultimately, if your algorithm is right, the hardware won't matter at all. Each node could be a person with pencil and paper, and the messages are lossy paper airplanes. The NVM stuff (i think) just changes parameters to cache size, journal log size, stuff like that. I mean, it's cool tech, and it'll probably make stuff faster. But the reliability comes from the architecture and faithful implementation.
