Correct, best-effort.  There is no guarantee or time boxing on cross-region
replication.  The best way to manage cross site replication is by tuning
your replica count to ensure you have primary copies in each region -
eventually.  Possibly evaluate if you need write_affinity at all (you can
always just stream across the WAN on PUT directly into the primary
locations).  Global replication is a great feature, but still ripe for
optimization and turning:

With storage policies you now also have the ability to have a local policy
and global policy giving operators and users even more control about where
they need their objects.  For example you might upload to local policy and
then manage geo-distribution with a COPY request to the global policy.

Do you have a specific use case for geo-distributed objects that you could
share or are you just trying to understand the implementation?
