Nobody has suggested rejecting either sync replication or standby database.
The debate here is over whether to commit into 8.4 or into 8.5.

Put another way, the choice here is whether to have a half-baked delayed 8.4
release in 6 months or a polished on-time 8.5 release in 12 months. Either way
the feature ships and on a not terribly different timeline either.
