Right. I propose that we set max_wal_senders to unlimited when
wal_level = hot_standby. When they tell us they are using hot_standby
via wal_level, why make them change another setting (max_wal_senders)?

Basically, we don't need to turn everything on by default, but some
settings should trigger other behavior automatically.
