The real reason not to put that functionality into core (or even

Sure, and that's why I didn't care when this got kicked out of the
March CommitFest; was hoping a better one would show up. But if 8.4
isn't going out the door with the feature people really want, it would
be nice to at least make the stopgap kludge more easily available.

Sure I would rather have synchronous WAL shipping, but if that is going
to be a while or synchronous would slow down my applicaton I can get
comfortably close enough for my purposes with some highly compressible WALs.
