Right.

I personally agree that that pg_standby shouldn't be moved. Even if we
could not find agreement to remove it, there's little reason to move it
imo. My reading of the previous discussion was that we're far from alone
with that position.  That's why I'd like to have the patchseries in a
way that individual moves can be applied separately.

Greetings,
