I implemented the multiple switches thing in my branch first anyway and don't mind a lot either way; I think the consensus goes towards multiple switches. > About 3), aka --verify implied if no action is specified: > - In favor: Fabien C, Magnus > - Against: Michael P I think I'm in favor as well. I wonder whether we (or packagers) could then just ship a pg_verify_checksums -> pg_checksums symlink for compatibility if we/they want, as the behaviour would stay the same?
