What HS will give us is same or better than the equivalent feature in
latest release of Oracle. Oracle requires you to manually
freeze/unfreeze the standby and so the data is never even close to being
current.

For us, it might be better if it was streamed, but its not a critically
important issue for most users. An idle server is.
