Read 9fans archives, replica/pull has wiped out more than a handful of systems,
if you run venti you can recover, but it is not fun.

And as erik points out, replica also has trouble with many corner cases.

And finally, it is incredibly slow, but that is probably mostly due to
9p's latency sensitivity.
