Whither recovery.conf?

Hi there,

I was just wondering about the statement below in another thread:

2016-06-04 22:58 GMT+09:00 Vik Fearing <vik(at)2ndquadrant(dot)fr>:
> There are plans to allow SQL

Are there any active plans or patches on this front? I did a bit of searching,
I see one thread from 2013 (this one:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAJKUy5id1eyweK0W4+yyCM6+-qYs9erLidUmb=1a-QYBgTW4Qw@mail.gmail.com),
but it's not clear to where things are at the
moment. Mind you I might be searching in the wrong places and/or for the
wrong terms, it's happened before so apologies if I'm missing the obvious.

Thanks!

Richard.
