On the other hand, if it has to use defaults for the target host/port,
chances are high that either it connects to the wrong host/port or
that SR is just not wanted :-)

Whoever sets up SR will also take the effort to configure
primary_conninfo and will have a different primary than the default -
which I think is just the standby itself, no?
