Agree but there is one place where the node passed as the second argument is not the "$self":

src/bin/pg_rewind/t/007_standby_source.pl:$node_b->wait_for_write_catchup('node_c', $node_a);

So it looks like there is still a need for wait_for_write_catchup().

Yeah, but same here, there is places where the node passed as the second argument is not the "$self":

src/bin/pg_rewind/t/007_standby_source.pl:$node_b->wait_for_replay_catchup('node_c', $node_a);
src/test/recovery/t/001_stream_rep.pl:$node_standby_1->wait_for_replay_catchup($node_standby_2, $node_primary);
src/test/recovery/t/001_stream_rep.pl:$node_standby_1->wait_for_replay_catchup($node_standby_2, $node_primary);
src/test/recovery/t/001_stream_rep.pl:  $node_standby_1->wait_for_replay_catchup($node_standby_2, $node_primary);

So it looks like there is still a need for wait_for_replay_catchup() with 2 parameters.
