Found some tuits, but the problem is deeper than it first appears. Since 
we track what rows we've already replicated at the dbgroup level, we would 
have to break it into per-db if we allowed "catch up". Which means lots 
more rows in bucardo_track, and a higher quantity and/or more complex 
queries when pulling relevant rows from bucardo_delta. I'll keep playing 
with it though: the tradeoff is probably worth it.
