I think the pgbouncer-in-core idea caused some confusion here.

IMO the client failover method is very to what DNS round-robin setups do 
for webservers: even if clients might failover 'automatically', you 
still have to maintain the server states (which servers do you list in 
the DNS?) and care about 'replication' of your site to the webservers.
