IMHO, why not keep the behavior consistent across primary and standby?
I mean if it doesn't require a lot of new code/design addition then
it should be the user's responsibility. I mean if the user has set
'standby_slot_names' on standby then let standby also wait for
cascading standby to sync their slots? Is there any issue with that
behavior?
