I'd imagine that even if applying the WAL on the slave is blocked, it's

Which begs the question: what happens with a query which is running on
the slave in the moment when the slave switches from recovery mode and
starts up ? Should the running queries be canceled if they are blocking
applying of WAL, to allow start-up, or let them finish ?
Depends on application, I'd say. I guess we'll need both, like the smart
and fast shutdown modes.
