I was not thinking of making it a hard limit. It would be just

Then I suggest we not use exactly that name.  I feel quite sure we
would get complaints from people if something labeled as "max" was
exceeded -- especially if they set that to the actual size of a
filesystem dedicated to WAL files.

You're probably right. Any suggestions for a better name? wal_size_soft_limit?
