I've tried to push that forward. I'm happy to update this patch once
we've got agreement to move forward on that, to wit, adding to an
'obsolete' section in the documentation information about this
particular GUC and how it's been removed due to not being sensible or
necessary to continue to have.
Some discussion a few days ago was arguing that it was still necessary
in some cases as a way to counteract the possible lack of tuning in the
kernel flushing behavior. I think in light of that we should go with
your first patch that just changes the default, possibly with the
documentation updated a bit.
