Should we just remove it? Apparently, it was never functional to begin with. Otherwise, we'd have to write a second query to return the value to print. wait_for_slot_catchup has the same issue. Seems like a lot of overhead for something that has never been used. > Could you also update promote_standby in RewindTest.pm?
