I don't think we have to make it mandatory. There is use cases
where it's not needed and mentioned by Andres up-thread [1] (see the comment
"The patch deals with this...")

But on the other hand we'd need to ensure that the primary physical slot
and HSF set to on on the standby are always in place. That would probably lead
to extra code too.

I'm -1 on that but +1 on the fact that it should be documented (as done in 0006).
