I confess to not having paid much attention to this thread so far, but ...
what is the rationale for having such a capability at all?  It seems to
me to be exposing implementation details that we do not need to expose,
as well as making assumptions that we shouldn't make (like there is
exactly one archive and the primary server has read access to it).
