Hmmm. I don't thing that I'd describe RAC as 'a complete rearchitecture' of OPS. I think it would be better to describe it as a fixed implementation of OPS. That doesn't mean it isn't a huge improvement, but it certainly wasn't pull out all the old OPS code and replace it with nice shiny new version 1 RAC code - if it was it sure as hell wouldn't have worked apart from anything else.
