What I've been seeing is that the underlying logic isn't different but there are more ways to get into it. Previously, there was no archive/targeted recovery without recovery.conf, but now there are several ways to get to archive/targeted recovery, i.e., making the recovery settings GUCs has bypassed controls that previously had limited how they could be used and when. The issues on the other thread [1], at least, were all introduced in 2dedf4d9.
