**Replication controller manager**, **Job controller**, and **ReplicaSet controller** ignore pods in terminated phase, so pods with pending finalizers will not block these controllers.
**PetSet controller** will be blocked by a pod with pending finalizers, so synchronous GC might slow down its progress.
**StatefulSet controller** will be blocked by a pod with pending finalizers, so synchronous GC might slow down its progress.
**kubectl**: synchronous GC can simplify the **kubectl delete** reapers. Let's take the `deployment reaper` as an example, since it's the most complicated one. Currently, the reaper finds all `RS` with matching labels, scales them down, polls until `RS.Status.Replica` reaches 0, deletes the `RS`es, and finally deletes the `deployment`. If using synchronous GC, `kubectl delete deployment` is as easy as sending a synchronous GC delete request for the deployment, and polls until the deployment is deleted from the key-value store.

Today the replication controller defines a PodTemplate which allows it to instantiate multiple pods with identical characteristics.
This is useful but limited. Stateful applications have a need to instantiate multiple instances of a more sophisticated topology
