If replication in MySQL were bulletproof, then that would be a great test for Falcon because you can compare the contents of the slave with the master after the test is done and you know that anything done on the master must be done on the slave despite the restarts. Alas, you need transactional replication from the Google patch to be implemented for Falcon and a few more bugs to be fixed in the handling of relay-log.info for this test to run for any amount of time.
