There's a long standing requirement for filtering WAL records during recovery, allowing us to select databases, tables etc.
My approach to this has been to submit a patch for rmgr plugins. The patch has other good uses too, most especially being able to decode WAL records by having access to a continuously maintained catalog. That patch may not have been understood by many and a recent private conversation indicated it may be vetoed, though not really sure why. If we are going to reject the patch on rmgr plugins, then I'd like to get that overwith as quickly as possible so I can add other code to allow filtering for Hot Standby by some other route for 8.4.
