I agree that it would be premature to remove pg_standby at this point.But how about changing the default value of
standby_modefrom "off"
to "on" in 9.2? I think most new installations are probably using
that, rather than pg_standby, and changing the default would give
people a gentle push in what now seems to be the preferred direction.
