Heikki complained about pg_receivexlog --create-slot starting to stream in his talk in St. Petersburg. Saying that that makes it a hard to script feature - and I have to agree. Since that option is new to 9.5 we can should change that behaviour now if we decide to.
Michael, what do you think?
--drop-slot seems pointless, since you can just do that with psql
If we make --create-slot do nothing but add the slot, then that seems pointless also
Would we need to add those options to all commands, when it can be done with psql?
I'd suggest just removing --create-slot and --drop-slot altogether
