It'd be a *MAJOR* plus. One of the biggest operational headaches for using a HS node for querying is that there'll often be conflicts due to vacuum truncating relations (which logs an AEL), even if hot_standby_feedback is used. There's been multiple proposals to allow disabling truncations just because of that. Greetings, Andres Freund
