I think "promote" file should trigger the fast promotion, and the

might even break people's scripts for no good reason, if people are
creating the $PGDATA/promote file themselves without using pg_ctl.

current situation. I never understood why.

If we're going to change this in 9.3, it needs to happen *now*, as in
the next couple hours, because I plan to wrap rc1 this afternoon.
Please stop discussing and commit something.
Ok, committed. The promote trigger file is now called "promote", like it
was in previous versions. For the non-fast promotion, create a file
called "fallback_promote".
