I don't really understand why you would put something in there that has
no use at all. Why make every server in the world do extra
synchronisation?

Whatever you build in the future can include this, if that is still a
required point at the time you add the new feature.

Are you thinking about switchover rather than failover? I'm sure a
graceful switchover doesn't need this.
