But then it could take time for users to know the actual problem and
they probably notice it after failover. OTOH, if we throw an error
then probably they will come to know earlier because the slot sync
mechanism would be stopped. Do you have reasons to prefer giving a
WARNING and skipping creating such slots? I expect this WARNING to
keep getting repeated in LOGs because the consecutive sync tries will
again generate a WARNING.
