I see. Yes, the slot on the old primary would keep retaining WAL, and
the promoted standby would stop sending feedback once it has switched
to a new timeline so that should work. Don't forget to drop the drop
on the old primary after pg_rewind has been run, you don't want to
bloat its pg_xlog with useless data.
