As one more concrete example, we are likely to find SR beneficial if
it can feed into a warm standby, but only if we can also do
traditional WAL file archiving from the same source at the same
time.  The extra logging for HS would be useless for us in any
event.
 
+1 for *not* tying WAL contents to the transport mechanism.
