Hmm.  Commit b555ed810267 (in 9.6) removed values 'archive' and
'hot_standby' and introduced 'replica' to substitute them, and updated
postgresql.conf.sample to account for that.  If you're using a
postgresql.conf file that has the outdated comment, I'm guessing that
the conf file was copied from an older installation somehow (which is
very common since the file largely remains compatible).
