I don't think part of his arguments are right very much... We can just set 
stanby_mode=on when we use "min_standby_apply_delay" with pg_standby and similar 
simply tools. However, I tend to agree with not to need to prohibit except for 
standby_mode. So I'd like to propose that changing parameter name of 
"min_standby_apply_delay" to "min_recovery_apply_delay". It is natural for this 
feature.
