The assumption that it's okay to document what you've done with
something like

        # work_mem = '1GB'
        # changed to give saner behavior 10/25/08
        work_mem = '10MB'

Or more generally, that the comments they've put next to a setting
are going to stay next to it.  Once again: this isn't about the
instructions.
