I understand Simon's point that the two behaviors have different
benefits. However, I believe few users will be able to understand when
to use which.
As I remember, 9.0 has two behaviors:
o master delays vacuum cleanup
o slave delays WAL application
and in 9.1 we will be adding:
o slave communicates snapshots to master
How would this figure into what we ultimately want in 9.1?
