is it doesn't follow FHS or LSB. If those are valid reasons to change
the system, it seems like a change which doesn't actually address those
concerns would not be acceptable. (Unless those really aren't valid
concerns...)
As I said somewhere else, I'm an old fashioned UNIX guy, capability without policy. The patch that I submitted for 7.3.2 will allow the user to configure PostgreSQL with a configuration file outside the $PGDATA directory. That's all I care about. If someone wants to get on the FHS bandwagon, that's fine. PostgreSQL should allow that ability but should not require it.
