It shouldn't. It is possible to have synchronous replication without it being master<->master.

While the answer may have been a little dated, this still seems to be an FAQ. Was there a discussion on removing this? If so I'll go read that, but ISTM this question should remain.

agreed, this definitly does fall under a "Very FAQ" kinda thing ... pointers to the various methods that are currently in use, at a minimum, would be good ...

Yep, big mistake my removing the replication FAQ item. I have re-added a new one:

        4.21) What replication solutions are available?
        
        Though "replication" is a single term, there are two major replication
        technologies. Multi-master replication allows read/write queries to be
        sent to multiple replicated computers. Using this capability has a
        serious performance impact. Pgcluster is the most popular such solution
        available for PostgreSQL. Master-slave replication allows a single
        master to receive read/write queries, with slaves able to accept only
        read/SELECT queries. The most popular master-slave PostgreSQL
        replication solution is Slony. There are also commercial and
        hardware-based replication solutions available.
