4) What to do with the stats_temp_directory GUC / PG_STAT_TMP_DIR define / pg_stats_temp directory? With shared memory stats patch, the stats system itself doesn't need it anymore. But pg_stat_statements also uses PG_STAT_TMP_DIR to store pgss_query_texts.stat. That file can be fairly hot, so there's benefit in having something like stats_temp_directory. I'm inclined to just leave the guc / define / directory around, with a note saying that it's just used by extensions? Greetings, Andres Freund
