Jan,
No, not documenting it IS a good move.
I couldn't disagree more. Undocumented options? Who are we, Microsoft?
If there's a button people will press it, if there's a switch people will turn it on and if there's a slot people will stick in whatever they have ... believe it or not, I have found a Xmas cookie in the floppy drive of a consultant's notebook<snip>
These kinds of people don't read the documentation in the first place, so we're in no danger from them.
I can definitely see an argument that the "developer" switches should be documented on a different page of the docs from "Run-Time Configuration". But the idea of having GUCs that aren't documented at all, anywhere, is a very anti-Open Source idea.
