Why is this worth spending effort on?
The addition of archive_mode changeable with restart only was a
significant loss of usability going from 8.2 to 8.3, in the minds of
many people.
It certainly makes more sense to do this:
archive_mode = on
pg_ctl reload
archive_mode = off
pg_ctl reload
versus
archive_command = '/path/to/really/long/archive/string'
pg_ctl reload
archive_command = '/bin/true'
pg_ctl reload
So the short question is, "Do we care about sane behavior for our users?"
If the answer is yes then that is *exactly* why it is worth spending
effort on.
If the answer is no, well it's open source.
