[infinispan-dev] Replicated sync vs async caches after ISPN-2473

Hi infinispan-dev, in order to chase an issue i have reported earlier i started to go through the code path executed by a replicated sync cache when adding a key to the ConcurrentMap. While walking through the org.infinispan.statetransfer.StateTransferInterceptor:handleWriteCommand method i run into a pointer to ISPN-2473. Now what this enhancement has done is to transform the sync writes to async ones to avoid deadlocks. Now the question i have, from a newbie point of view, and sorry if it's trivial, what is now the difference between an async replicated cache and a sync one? Seems after this enhancement there is not much difference for non-transactional caches is that correct?
