I assume hot standby is ready for review/commit.  The commit fest wiki
has:
o  Infrastructure changes for recoveryo  Hot Standby - queries during archive recoveryo  rmgr hooks and
contrib/rmgr_hooko Synchronous log-shipping replication
 

Are these all ready for review/commit?  I assume all are except I don't
know the answer for the last one.
