What's the "remaster"?

At least cascading replication (1) allows you to adopt more flexible
configuration of servers,
(2) reduces the number of standby servers which directly connect to
the master, which
reduces the overhead of the master, and (3) provides the
infrastructure of standby-only
base backup feature.
