Thanks Peter. I have addressed all in v65.

I have made this change but now in the log file we see 3 logs like
below, does it seem apt? Was the earlier one better where we get the
info in 2 lines?

[34416] LOG:  bad configuration for slot synchronization
[34416] HINT:  hot_standby_feedback must be enabled.
[34416] LOG:  skipping slot synchronization

thanks
