I think 'immediate' would be a better choice. One reason is that we've
used the term 'fast promotion' in the past for a different feature.
Another is that 'immediate' might sound slightly scary to people who
are familiar with what 'pg_ctl stop -mimmediate' does. And you want
people doing this to be just a little bit scared: not too scared, but
a little scared.
