I assume hot standby is ready for review/commit. The commit fest wiki
has:

o Infrastructure changes for recovery
o Hot Standby - queries during archive recovery
o rmgr hooks and contrib/rmgr_hook
o Synchronous log-shipping replication

Are these all ready for review/commit? I assume all are except I don't
know the answer for the last one.
