My 2 cents...
I would rather see someone working on true synchronous replication,
rather than a readable hot-standby. Yeah, I know, different problems
with different solutions. But,. for my money, a readable hot-standby
doesn't give me added functionality, it's just a performance option.
Whereas synchronous replication has much greater value from a the
perspective of running a 24x7 business.
I'm on the verge of dumping our commercial DB in favor of PostgreSQL,
but this is one issue that is holding me back.
