Well, we just have to wait until 9.4 is out of support (so by the time we're releasing 9.9, or 9.8 if we don't get release cycles under control). As far as I recall we still have the alias entry for sort_mem in map_old_guc_names, and what grief does it cause? > Not sure if it's worth doing so for a dubious use of the variable.
