Well if you want the old behaviour you can ask for REPEATABLE READ and
have it. Granted, that means you have to edit the application code that
talks to the Hot Standby, but surely you want to edit the same code when
it talks to the master to ask the proper level of serialisation, which
just changed underneath you?
