Are there no slides or transcript, or blog posts? It would be nice to have something that can be skimmed through.

I don't use Ruby, so I'm not sure how much of the talk would apply to me, but we use CouchDB extensively at work.

Are you guys using any of the replication? If so, have you seen any of the replication failures that are tracked in JIRA right now?

There are 2 or 3 nebulous "replication breaks" bugs that are filed from older versions, but one that says it is still happening on 1.1.1 with no followups from the team.

Filipe I believe rewrote the replication code from scratch for 1.2 so again, it is hard to know if the replication hickups are non-issues or not so I'm curious if you have real world data points here.

The replication is borked, we know. The replicator database introduced in 1.1 only solves part of the issues at hand. Everybody at Cloudant & Couchbase is pretty confident that the 1.2 replicator will be much more stable & efficient, which is why there isn't a lot of activity right now on plugging holes in the old replicator.
I had only read ancillary data about the new replicator work on the lists and in JIRA, really glad to hear that it got the rewrite treatment.

Is this work going to go into Couchbase 2.0 builds? (not necessarily the current preview, but the final GA release?)

Yes, it's going into Couchbase.
