But this one is necessary as well to allow hot standby faster to
initialize, no? Particularly in the case where a bgwriter snapshot
would have been taken just before the checkpoint, there may be up to
15s until the next one.
And AFAIK, this code would not get a back-patch, as stated by Andres
upthread :( I would think that it is better to actually get a
backpatch, but well...
