Okay, this thread seems to be running out of steam, and we are running
out of hours before the beta1 wrap. I am going to take it on my own
authority to do the following:
* rename recovery_connections to hot_standby (and the underlying
variable from XLogRequestRecoveryConnections to something like
EnableHotStandby);
* change its default value to 'off'.
I believe the only other code changes needed for beta1 are the
pg_start/stop_backup error check changes that Heikki proposed at
<4BD953A6.70409@enterprisedb.com>. If he doesn't commit that
within an hour or two, I will.
This train is leaving the station.
