Thanks for the commit Simon.

Agreed that there are no doc bugs. The reason I suggested a backpatch
is that I'm concerned that a lot of people are going to be approaching
the whole Standby topic for the first time with 9.0, so it would be
nice to give those folks an accessible account of how
archive_cleanup_command is meant to be used.

I was also working from the assumption that the "we only packpatch bug
fixes" policy applied to the code, not so much to the documentation.
If I was in error about that, well fair enough then.

Cheers,
BJ
