Things are running smoothly so far.  The proof will be in the pudding after 48h 
or so.  But I have changed my rsync from its original pull approach to push.  I 
do need to clean up the WAL's on master once they've made it to the 
warm_standby, so in this new push approach, I only round up WAL's that are, say 
10m old, and then rsync those to warm_standby, deleting them on master when 
they've been xferred.  warm_standby continues to do a good job of cleaning up 
the archive dir w/o any fuss from me.
