 I replacesd almost all slave to standby or standby servers
 not only in HS+SR but also in other places like third-party tools.

 There are still 3 places where slave is used.
  - Terminology: ... are called standby or slave servers.
  - Words in old release notes for 8.2 and 8.4.

 Could you check those replacements are proper?

Some of these read OK, but others just don't sound right.  In
particular, master/standby replication just sounds odd.  I think the
word standby implies a server that could take over for the master
if it died while slave doesn't necessarily have that connotation.
So for example the changes to protocol.sgml read OK to me, but the
changes to high-availability.sgml I'm not a big fan of.
