This makes a lot of sense. tentatively scheduling for 8.8, might just be documentation cc @brodock @axil

Milestone changed to 8.8

Title changed from Add ability to convert read-only slave (Geo) to primary server in DR scenario to Add ability to promote read-only slave (Geo) to primary server in DR scenario

@JobV it can probably land before that as documentation playbook.

@brodock that'd be great. Shipping earlier than scheduled is always welcome.
