Well, it depends on whether or not you need the file.
It's renamed so the system doesn't accidentally try to re-enter recovery mode.
However if you're still planning on having a standby, you _will_ need a recovery.conf file, and that's what this is, just renamed.
After successfully testing a failover between my primary and a standby server, the old recovery.conf file is renamed recovery.done. As this system is now the master, I don't see a
need to keep that file around, but is it safe to remove it now?
