Is there still a use case for --no-wait in the real world?
Sure. Most system startup scripts aren't going to want to wait.
If we take it out those people will go back to starting the postmaster
by hand.
Presumably they could just background it... since it's not going to be
long-lived it's presumably not that big a deal. Though, seems like many
startup scripts like to make sure what they're starting is actually working.
What might be interesting is a mode that waited for everything but
recovery so at least you know the config is valid, the port is
available, etc. That would be much harder to handle externally.
