Excellent feature request! The ability to specify the new primary is necessary for testing disaster recovery operations and how downstream applications will perform. Without the ability to specify the new primary, the aforementioned tests are influenced by 'random chance'. Even worse, if the downstream applications are impacted by the failover test (e.g. increased latency or degradation to the new primary), its another roll of the dice to fail back to the original region.
