[HACKERS] Switch pg_ctl's default about waiting?

[Tom Lane]

Now that the postmaster takes a noticeable amount of time to shut down,
I'm wondering if pg_ctl's default about whether or not to wait ought
to be reversed.  That is, "-w" would become the norm, and some new
switch ("-n" maybe) would be needed if you didn't want it to wait.

Comments?
