When "hot standby" was added, I argued that it's not really a standby if
it's hot. The response was that this is sort of a standard industry
term, and we should read "standby" to be equivalent to "replica". Which
I think is good enough. Obviously, the term "standby" is baked into
many user-visible interfaces, so it's not clear whether there is a clean
path to improving anything here.
