Because sync implies aborting the current transaction. It's at least
concievable that an application could recover from a conflict error without
aborting the current transaction. I can't give a great example, but
I also don't feel confortable assuming that this will always be the right
thing to do.
I suppose that this automatic behavior could be a configuration setting.
