Hi,
With f47ed79cc8, the test suite doesn't run 'wal_consistency_checking'
as default because it is resource intensive; but regress docs doesn't
state resource intensiveness as a reason for not running tests by
default. So, I created a patch for updating the docs.
Any kind of feedback would be appreciated.
Regards,

Subject: [PATCH v1] Update the reasons of tests not running by default on docs
With f47ed79cc8, test suite doesn't run 'wal_consistency_checking' as
default because it is resource intensive. However, regress
documentation only states 'not secure to run on a multiuser system'
or 'requiring special software' as a reason to not run the tests
by default. Therefore, update the docs by adding 'resource intensive'
as a reason to not run tests by default.

Some test suites are not run by default, either because they are not secure
