It's orthagonal. The kinds of configurations we're talking about simply
define what it will mean when you commit a transaction "with synch".
However, I think we're getting way the heck away from how far we really
want to go for 9.1. Can I point out to people that synch rep is going
to involve a fair bit of testing and debugging, and that maybe we don't
want to try to implement The World's Most Configurable Standby Spec as a
first step?
