There are other cases in our docs where we call something a standby and mean only a physical standby/replica. Should these be clarified?
When "hot standby" was added, I argued that it's not really a standby if it's hot. The response was that this is sort of a standard industry term, and we should read "standby" to be equivalent to "replica". Which I think is good enough. Obviously, the term "standby" is baked into many user-visible interfaces, so it's not clear whether there is a clean path to improving anything here.
