For one, figuring out how to send back the notifications about WAL
applied in standby, and all the IPC required for that.

Streaming replication is a complex enough patch in just asynchronous

we just don't have the resources to review all at once. Even if we did,
splitting the project into smaller increments is a good idea anyway.
