We are seeing situation like this:

 synchronize_seqscans      | on
 synchronous_commit        | remote_write
 synchronous_standby_names | *
 wal_sync_method           | open_datasync
(5 rows)

Yet, every now and then we're getting:
FATAL:  requested WAL segment * has already been removed

Assuming no part of the system is issuing "set synchronous_commit
= off", how can we get in such situation?
