Ok, fair enough. For that, synchronous replication in the "wait forever"
mode is the only alternative. That on its own doesn't give you any boost
in availability, on the contrary, but coupled with suitable clustering
tools to handle failover and deciding when the standby is dead, you can
achieve that.
