Agreed. I think that user who wants to request smart shutdown expects all
the existing connections to basically be closed normally by the client. So it
doesn't seem to be good idea to forcibly close the connection and prevent
the COMMIT from being returned in smart shutdown case. But I'm all ears
for better suggestions.

Anyway, we got the consensus about how fast shutdown should work with
sync rep. So I created the patch. Please feel free to comment and commit
the patch first ;)
