what sort of "replication issues"? if you use archive_command and ship/rsync wal files somewhere you will safeguard against falling too far behind (past an arbitrary wal_keep_segments limit). Also, in 9.4 you have replication slots so you can get rid of wal_keep_segments altogether: the master knows the replication progress/status of each slave and keeps required wal files around until they are no longer needed.

or were you referring to some other issue with failed replication? something that mysql handles better/differently?
