This is definitely something that needs to be addressed in future
versions of Postgres, especially once we have Hot
Standby/Read-Only-Slaves and Sync-Replication. People will want to
have dozens of active slaves and rebuilding them all every time a
failover happens will be unbearable. Not to mention that in the
meantime they have to live with no redundancy.
