I'm not planning on repeating myself either, but: a database
*monitoring* tool, as opposed to a vanilla client, needs to know whether
the database is in fact up.  Autostarting the DB in response to a
monitoring probe is the wrong behavior for that.

I do not really care whether you believe that that's a problem or not;
it is in my eyes, and as the responsible engineer, I'm not going to
produce a broken database package.

                        regards, tom lane
