This is a good point, though I think the big advance wasn't in actually removing the garbage so much as making it irrelevant. That is, the advances were in making the server actually work automatically with less manual configuration. That's always a noble goal. I would be interested in what parameters people thought we could eliminate from the initial config file because the server normally gets it right anyways and users shouldn't have to adjust it anyways. (I'm specifically *not* referring to sections like the kerberos parameters which even if most users can leave them alone those who do use that feature *do* need to adjust those parameters because the server does *not* get them right automatically) -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Ask me about EnterpriseDB's PostGIS support! -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
