Thanks Dimitri, I'd missed that thread. Ok, slave will need a suitable
restore_comand in addition to primary_conninfo in recovery.conf, and
then extended communication failures (or shutting down the slave for a
while!) will not break the streaming setup (FWIW I tried this just now).
Sure, but if the archived WAL segments are NOT needed, how are they
supposed to get deleted? It doesn't take long to run out of disk space
if they're not being rotated.

From what I am seeing at the moment (8.5 devel from 2 days ago), the
archived segments are not deleted at all (I have several hundred now
after a number of pgbench runs over the last day or so).
