Yes, correctness (safety?) is a basic premise. I understand that given the time left for PG 14, we haven't yet given up a sound design that offers practical or normally expected performance. I don't think the design has not well thought yet to see if it's simple or complex. At least, I don't believe doing "send commit request, perform commit on a remote server, and wait for reply" sequence one transaction at a time in turn is what this community (and other DBMSs) tolerate. A kid's tricycle is safe, but it's not safe to ride a tricycle on the road. Let's not rush to commit and do our best!
