Well, one goal I was considering is that if a commit is hung waiting for
slave sync confirmation, and the timeout happens, then the mode is
changed to degraded and the commit returns success. I am not sure how
you would do that in an external tool, meaning there is going to be
period where commits fail, unless you think there is a way that when the
external tool changes the mode to degrade that all hung commits
complete. That would be nice.
