Removing options entirely arguably brings some worthwhile simplification from a user perspective, but it's really unclear to me that mapping the same set of options onto fewer underlying behaviors buys us much. If we don't care enough about getting rid of archive to force people to change postgresql.conf, I doubt whether this is buying us enough to be worthwhile. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
