Description of problem: During replication an agreement for various reasons can not send updates to its consumer. That consumer might be in a a replication session with a different master, etc. But in the last update status of a replication agreement we see for example: "Error (18) Replication error acquiring replica: Incremental update transient error. Backing off, will retry update later. (transient error)" The "transient error" text can be confusing, as this is not a severe condition. It should be changed to "transient warning", or something less alarming than "error".
