there are apparently times of the day or week when it can't keep up with the write

existing read rate.
I don't thnik Gregory disputed the need to keep the site running, and if
makeing an en cluster is what it takes to do this, so be it. His point
is the frustration from hearing "Hey, we made a new cluster. And by the
way, the toolserver won't work with that, so everyone wo invested month
of work into the tools there is s*****d. So what." Taking the wheels and
engine from a car and then giving someone the keys isn't really helpful
in such a situation.
