Thanks for the patch. Few trivial things:

----------
1)
system-views.sgml:

a) "Note that the slots" --> "Note that the slots on the standbys,"
--it is good to mention "standbys" as synced could be true on primary
as well (promoted standby)

b) If you plan to add more info which Bertrand suggested, then it will
be better to make a <note> section instead of using "Note"

2)
commit msg:

"The impact of this
on a promoted standby inactive_since is always NULL for all
synced slots even after server restart.
"
Sentence looks broken.
---------

Apart from the above trivial things, v26-001 looks good to me.

thanks
