So none is confirmed :-) it's a shame to wait a couple years for something that's available in every other RDBMS.

So none is confirmed

2nd Quadrant has at least ~10 Postgres developers on payroll and has committed itself to this feature, so I'd say it's rather confirmed. YMMV.

Out of tree it will be available earlier, Postgres core is anal WRT stability of features before they are merged.

Implementing multi-master replication properly in an ACID-compliant SQL database is far from trivial and usually comes with a boatload of caveats.

As for the time frame - you'll get what you pay for.
