Or perhaps leave the door open for picking a better default in the future?
The value <literal>on</literal> is currently an alias for
<literal>pglz</literal>.
(I would be fine with either of the 3 variants.)
Maybe we should also update the postgresql.conf.sample:
#wal_compression = off # enables compression of full-page
writes;
- # off, pglz, lz4, zstd, or on
+ # off, pglz (or on), lz4, or zstd
(Or just delete it there.)
