We could have some kind of "table of replication status code" and a
"last status code" or a "history of status codes", which is used by
clients (psql, pgadmin, etc) to shows the replication status.

Is expected that this information resides in both? For example, take a
status code like "2) sent to the standby, but not written there yet.",
if we expect this in primary, in the stand by must have something like
"2) received from primary, but not written here yet." as status code? I
guess that would be a good way to check whether and how replication is
working in both servers.
I agree with you that this feature should be postponed.
