I'm not sure, but I think the questioner was proposing a policy of "if it
crashes, we go to the standby, no attempt at recovery, ever", and I think
that would be safe.
And, personally, given my experience with pg, I think that's reasonable.
Because the day I see pg crash I'm going to assume I have a hardware problem
