merge replication and simple recovery model

Hi All,
Is it possible or okay for setting the publishing DB in a merge
replication setup to Simple recovery model instead of the current
Bulk-logged model?
Will this have an impact to the subscribers?
Thanks.

Merge doesn't use the transaction log in the same way as transactional, but
even in this case it is a common misconception that FULL recovery mode is
necessary, so to answer your question 'Yes' - it has no effect as far as the
correct workings of replication are concerned.
