Not the only developer, but the most active and visible one at the
moment. :) By "no failover" I mean that it cannot be easily switched so
that another node becomes a new master, like Slony does. Something like
that is possible with Bucardo, but not in anything resembling an automatic
system at the moment.

Yes, Bucardo is particularly good at catching up from long
disconnections, as it merely grabs a list of which rows have changed, and
doesn't care how many transactions actually occurred to get them that way.
