For 9.4, clearly yes, this would change the semantic of recovery and this is not something wise to do at the end of a development cycle. For 9.5 though, this is a different story. It clearly depends on if this is though as useful enough to change how recovery fetches WAL files (in this case by scanning existing repslots). There are other things to consider as well like for example: do we reset the restart_lsn of a repslot if needed WAL files are not here anymore or abort recovery? I haven't worked much with repslots though... -- Michael
