As a follow up, I noticed a post a week ago or thereabouts I think it
was that mentioned bouncing nodes between standard replication and
updating by log shipping, but it wasn't currently a viable solution.  Is
this likely to ever become a viable solution, as it would solve the
problem of unpredictable network links (at least for some use cases)?
