[for the record, Yeb explain he means OFF not on...]
the thing is that once you put a server name in
synchronous_standby_names that standby is declared to be synchronous
and because synchronous_replication can change at any time for any
given backend we need to know priority of any declared sync standby.
if you want pure async standbys remove their names from
synchronous_standby_names

no. the thing is that we can determine for which data we want to pay
the price of synchrony and for which data don't
