Bruce,
One issue is that the postgresql.conf file only gets installed as part of initdb so a shutdown/install/restart will replace the sample file, but the server file will retain comments until an initdb. This means some beta people might go into 8.0.0 final with comments, and some will not.
I think there's a couple other patches that have the same effect (that is, initdb is required to take care of them). I think people using the beta should expect to re-build several times, anyway -- if they're not, they shouldn't use beta software.
Actually, I agree with this, but from a different angle ... if testing beta, part of that testing is that an initdb does what is expected and doesn't generate any errors/problems ... when we go into RC mode, *then* things should be safe from an initdb, but beta shouldn't have that requirement ...
