To implement, if you say so, no doubt. To use, that means you need to
install a contrib module after validation that the trade offs there are
the one you're interested into, or you have to code it yourself. In C.

I don't see that as an improvement over what we have now. Our main
problem seems to be the documentation of the max_standby_delay, where we
give the impression it's doing things the code can not do. IIUC.
