It'd be a *MAJOR* plus. One of the biggest operational headaches for
using a HS node for querying is that there'll often be conflicts due to
vacuum truncating relations (which logs an AEL), even if
hot_standby_feedback is used. There's been multiple proposals to
allow disabling truncations just because of that.
