How is shutting down the standby a good idea?  Seems like that will
block the master too --- or at least result in WAL log files piling up
rapidly.  If the standby goes off-line, abandoning it and starting from
a fresh base backup when you are ready to restart it seems like the most
likely recovery path.  For sure I don't see this as the "#1 priority".
