Based on the understanding I have of this issue I don't think we should 
hold the release for it (there is too much risk vs benefit). It seems 
that better support for controlling the way CLUSTER layers deal with 
queries could be treated as a enhancement in a future release, and we'll 
likely need a RFC to establish how that works and what the options are.

The mailing list questions could likely be avoided with a good note in 
the docs explaining the logics behind the current behavior (yes there is 
one as Tamas explained) and the workaround for those who expect all 
results to come out.
