I'm not getting the point of this discussion. As long as the database
confirms the commit to the client only *after* having an ack from the
standby and *after* committing locally, there's no problem.
In any case, a server failure in between the commit request of the
client and the commit confirmation for the client results in a client
that can't tell if its transaction committed or not.
So why do we care what to do first internally? Ideally, these two tasks
should happen concurrently, IMO.
