Don't get me wrong, I want things to be easily understandable as well

Not to mention commit delay and others ;).
Wouldn't that be nice!
The explosion of GUC settings is primarily a result of not enough
information.
The reason there are 7 bgwriter settings, for example, is that we
have no
idea what those settings should be and are hoping that people will
tinker
with them and tell us. Someday when I can fully profile bgwriter,
we'll just
have one setting: bgwriter_aggressive, set to a number between 0
and 9.
In the mean time; it would be great for these multiple-settings cases
to be listed somewhere, indicating that it's something we could use
help with. I think that with some explanation of what we're looking
for there's any number of people who could do this kind of profiling.
