that's kind of like saying "we told you our parachutes won't open sometimes. well, not in our conference talks or in our marketing but it's on our wiki and we blogged about it".

if you want to see a message that is clearly delivered about (lack of) durability look at memcached. nobody misunderstands memcached's durability/consistency guarantees.

Actually, it's more like saying, "we HIGHLY recommend having a backup parachute" (as, I'd imagine, most skydiving instructors would).

Also, I think I've always mention it in my talks.

I'm not sure how VoltDB escaped your wrath, it's an in-memory db that claims to be durable.

I went to the MongoSF conference. I found they explained it extensively in their conference talks.

I don't know about their marketing, but it's easy to find on the web site.
