I don't think there is an efficient way to detect on startup if an 
existing configuration is healthy or not (it might be healthy but just 
out of sync, so firing up slon's might get it there).

The only way I can interpret Yoel's post is that he intends to ignore 
whatever exists on startup and reinitialize a fresh replica from scatch. 
I don't think this is a good strategy, especially when the restart might 
just be a hickup after losing the origin for good.

Yoel, please explain in detail what exactly you plan to do.
