That's correct, which is why it's encouraged to have multiple replicas
configured when using synchronous replication. In v10, it's possible to
specify how many synchronous replicas are required to have acknowledged
a given transaction before a COMMIT is returned to the applicaiton.
Please review the documentation here:

Thanks!
