We want to teach people that Hot Standby and Streaming Replication are two different features. However, Streaming Replication calls its main parameter "standby_mode" which reminds more of Hot Standby than of Streaming Replication.
People could also run a warm standby without streaming replication, which would result in a standby that has standby_mode = 'off'. I found the parameter name confusing and I'd vote for changing its name.
