I don't *think* anyone is arguing with the code at this stage.
There's one other thing, raised by Cédric upthread, about the multiple files vs. single file. We decided on a single file because Greg said many little files scattered in conf.d/ would be a mess; but if we're going to have two new items, one conf.d/ for snippets from external tools (living in the config directory) and one for ALTER SYSTEM (living in PGDATA), then the idea of going back to one setting per file is perhaps not bad. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
