No, the streaming replication requires the same major release for all member servers, so there's no concern about the
mixed-versioncluster.
Sorry, pmState can only be used in postmaster. In our context, postgres can use RecoveryInProgress(). Anyway, in
additionto the reduced round trip, the libpq code would be much simpler.
