they occur during the startup phase; you never even get a functioning backend.
That's a marked difference from other uses of FATAL.
How so? "FATAL" means "an error that terminates your session", which
is exactly what these are.
Except in these cases the user never actually got a working session; their
request was denied.
To be clear, from the client standpoint it's certainly fatal, but not from the
server's point of view. This is fully expected behavior as far as the server is
concerned. (Obviously it might be an error that caused the shutdown/recovery,
but that's something different.)
