The same could be said for warm standby right now. Or Slony-I, for that matter. I think that we can reasonably expect anyone implementing asynchronous replication for HA to properly monitor the lag time. There are many sources of latency in the process, so I don't think anyone can expect 10 seconds without actually monitoring to verify what the actual lag time is. I apologize if my post is based on ignorance, I haven't followed your patch as closely as others involved in this discussion.
