Well, that's what I wanted to discuss before Honza starts coding.
It's not obvious that there are any use-cases for more than two.
It's also not clear whether there is any value in supporting run-time
rather than build-time configuration of the socket locations. The
Fedora use-case has no need of that, but if people can point to other
cases where it would be sensible, we can write the patch that way.
I had the need to make pg available from multiple chroots via unix sockets.
The same might come up more frequently with the availability of filesystem
namespaces...
It seems you were not alone with such need:
