Is this the proper item description?

* Remove comments on postgresql.conf variables

It could easily be taken to mean removing this:

#authentication_timeout = 60    # 1-600, in seconds
                               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

rather than the leading #.  I'd suggest

        * Un-comment all variables in postgresql.conf

          By not showing commented-out variables, we will discourage
          people from thinking that re-commenting a variable returns it
          to its default.

That works ... then it implies that there are just no defaults, which, IMHO, would definitely cause less confusion :)
