Yes, I agree wholeheartedly. The main reason I've been holding off on doing

replication yet is that the replication system was split off to a plugin

2.5, so I was pretty much waiting on 2.5 to land so I didn't have to set it
up
twice. Once we've got 2.5 running, this will become a *top* priority for me
in
our Gerrit setup.
Pulling stuff back in is probably doable (and I've heard rumors it's been
done),
but will require more investment.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet or not, but Gerrit 2.5 is getting pretty close to shipping too, so the wait shouldn't be too long. Skimming through their discussion on Google Groups [1] it appears as though as of July 11th there have been talks of starting releasing the RC versions of Gerrit 2.5. Not sure how long they usually end up staying in the RC stage before an actual release, but I can't imagine it is long.
Actually, a discussion started this morning again about what needs doing before the branch happens. The release manager for this cycle listed a couple of bullet points. That thread is here[0].
In general, the RC cycle is pretty quick--there's no firm rules, generally lasts a couple of weeks while any major remaining blockers are ironed out. I imagine we'll be seeing 2.5 final by late August at the latest.
