It's misleading to call the data directory the "synchronized data
directory" when discussing a crash scenario when using pg_rewind's
--no-sync option. Here we just remove the word "synchronized" to avoid

<command>pg_rewind</command> to return without waiting, which is
faster, but means that a subsequent operating system crash can leave
- the synchronized data directory corrupt. Generally, this option is
- useful for testing but should not be used on a production
+ the data directory corrupt. Generally, this option is useful for
