We would still want all options, since "slave communicates snapshot to master" doesn't solve the problem it just moves the problem elsewhere. It's a question of which factors the user wishes to emphasise for their specific use. > I understand Simon's point that the two behaviors have different > benefits.

It's not about complexity of UI, its about solving problems. When people hit an issue, I don't want to be telling people "we thought you wouldn't understand it, so we removed the parachute". They might not understand it *before* they hit a problem, so what? But users certainly will afterwards and won't say "thanks" if you prevent an option for them, especially for the stated reason. (My point about ndistinct: 99% of users have no idea that exists or when to use it, but it still exists as an option because it solves a known issue, just like this.) -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com
