I think you also need another parameter to control the behavior upon
timeout. You received less than N votes, now what? You're current idea
seems to be COMMIT, Aidan says ROLLBACK, and I say that's to be a GUC
set at the transaction level.
As far as registration goes, I see no harm to have the master maintain a
list of known standby systems, of course, it's just maintaining that
list from the master that I don't understand the use case for.
