The limit of 4 masters is more a "this is all 389 has certified/tested" 
limitation. It may be able to support more but it hasn't been thoroughly 
tested.

We don't currently support read-only replicas. It isn't a technical 
limitation, as you point out DS supports it just fine, a tool just 
hasn't been written. It really opens the world up to some nasty looking 
network diagrams so we want to think carefully about what we're doing 
before we enable it.
