Backup history file should be replicated in Streaming Replication?

Hi,

In current SR, since a backup history file is not replicated,
the standby always starts an archive recovery without a backup
history file, and a wrong minRecoveryPoint might be used. This
is not a problem for SR itself, but would cause trouble when
SR cooperates with Hot Standby.

HS begins accepting read-only queries after a recovery reaches
minRecoveryPoint (i.e., a database has become consistent). So,
a wrong minRecoveryPoint would execute read-only queries on an
inconsistent database. A backup history file should be replicated
at the beginning of the standby's recovery.

This problem should be addressed right now? Or, I should wait
until current simple SR patch has been committed?

Regards,
