When "hot standby" was added, I argued that it's not really a standby if 
it's hot.  The response was that this is sort of a standard industry 
term, and we should read "standby" to be equivalent to "replica".  Which 
I think is good enough.  Obviously, the term "standby" is baked into 
many user-visible interfaces, so it's not clear whether there is a clean 
path to improving anything here.
