The discussion on the thread was that its not sync rep unless we have the strictest guarantees. We have the strictest guarantees, so it qualifies as sync rep.

It wouldn't be the first time things got renamed in beta. -- Simon Riggs http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/books/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training and Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
