All of this seems very platform specific, too. You have
Windows-specific code, but the rest seems very Linux-specific. The
dstat tool I had never heard of before. There is stuff with cgroups,
which I don't know how portable they are across different Linux
installations. Something about Solaris was mentioned. What about the
rest? How can we maintain this in the long term? How do we know that
these facilities actually work correctly and not cause mysterious problems?

I think that we should not hobble pg in Linux, because of limitations of
other O/S's like those from Microsoft!
On the safe side, if a feature has insufficient evidence of working in a
particular O/S, then it should not be default enabled for that O/S.
If a feature is useful in Linux, but not elsewhere: then pg should still
run in the other O/S's but the documentation should reflect that.
