Replication progress is a factor of choice, but not the only one. The
sole role of this patch is just to allow us to have more advanced
policy in defining how synchronous replication works, aka how we want
to let the master acknowledge a commit synchronously from a set of N
standbys. In any case, this is something unrelated to the discussion
happening here.
