If the users
Do you mean abstracting it out during volume creation? At a high level this could be in the form of client or server side replication. Not that AFR cannot be used on the server side (you'd know better than me), but, if at all this level of abstraction is used, we'd need to default to what fits best in what use case (as you already mentioned below) but still retaining the flexibility to override it. > choose 1b, 2b it becomes nsr and 1a, 2a becomes afr/ec.
