Max, you're the maintainer of the PostgreSQL SuSE RPMs, right?

my first name is Reinhard, but aside from that, you are right. ;)

Sorry :-)

Can you comment on the above?

I enabled it many years ago when (IIRC) it was needed in conjunction
with "logging_collector = on" to get proper logging and especially log
rotation. It might very well be that it is not needed anymore and
suggestions for doing it better are welcome.

It seems to me you could just stop setting silent_mode. If you want to capture any early errors at startup into a log file, like silent_mode does to postmaster.log, you can redirect stdout and stderr in the startup script. pg_ctl start -l postmaster.log will do the same.
