Even if you set wal_keep_segments high I don't think that the replayed
WAL will be archived.

I guess that the idea is that a cluster will only archive the WAL it
generates. Typically, the primary would archive these (if you don't archive
WAL on the primary, you're probably doing something wrong).
So this would only lead to duplicates.
