There was a lot of argument upstream about whether to keep 'hot_standby' or 'archive' but after the proposal to change it to 'replica' came up everybody seemed to fall in line with that. +1 from me for using 'replica' as the WAL level to replace 'hot_standby' and 'archive'. +1 from me for removing the 'hot_standby' and 'archive' options entirely in 9.6 rather than deprecating. Unless anyone has objections I would like to mark this 'ready for committer'. -- -David da...@pgmasters.net
