It requires that the server does the work of waiting for the update
operation to finish on all slaves. If the update failed on one of the 
slaves the operation would return an error immediately.

Transactional consistency would solve the problem but I think what
they need is somewhat less than transactional consistency. Not sure
if it is less enough to warrant a standard extension.
