This part is a deal-killer. It's a giant up-hill slog to sell warm

warm standby machine consumes SA time, bandwidth, power, rack space,
etc., but provides no tangible benefit, and this feature would have
exactly the same problem.
IMHO, without the ability to do read-only queries on slaves, it's not
worth doing this feature at all.
That's not something that squares with my experience *at all*, which
admitedly is entirely in
investment banks. Business continuity is king, and in some places the
warm standby rep
from the database vendor is trusted more than block-level rep from the
SAN vendor
(though that may be changing to some extent in favour of the SAN).
