I disagree.
Returning archive_command exit code as a result of prior reading archive_status
is not safe.
"absolutely an entirely different thing" is a speculation just like "jumping
out of 5th floor is safer than jumping out 10th". If archive is not to be
monitored properly - do not whack with archive_status at all. pgBackRest is no
safer that WAL-G in this aspect. They are prone to the same conditions,
changing behavior of archive_status will affect them both.
I'm aware of the issue and monitor PG changes in this aspect. I do not pretend
that there cannot be any problem at all and this method will stay safe forever.
But now it is.
