Few days ago maintainers of pgconsul (HA tool) asked me: how to wait until
synchronous_stanby_names takes effect? For some reason they need to commit one
transaction with full quorum. The best solution we found was to restart the node
and insert\commit afterwards.
So yeah, +1 for having synchronous reload.
