I disagree.
Returning archive_command exit code as a result of prior reading archive_status is not safe.
"absolutely an entirely different thing" is a speculation just like "jumping out of 5th floor is safer than jumping out
10th".If archive is not to be monitored properly - do not whack with archive_status at all. pgBackRest is no safer that
WAL-Gin this aspect. They are prone to the same conditions, changing behavior of archive_status will affect them both. 
I'm aware of the issue and monitor PG changes in this aspect. I do not pretend that there cannot be any problem at all
andthis method will stay safe forever. But now it is.
