Personally I use the config-time PG_TEST_EXTRA extensively. I'd be sad to see it go, especially if developers are no longer forced to use it. (In practice, I don't change that setting much after initial configure, because I use separate worktrees/build directories for different patchsets. And the reconfiguration is fast when I do need to modify it.) Thanks, --Jacob
