Ya know, I'm sitting back and reading this, and other threads, and
assimilating what is being bantered about, and start to think that its
time to cut back on the gatekeepers ...
Thomas implemented an option that he felt was useful, and that doesn't
break anything inside of the code ... he provided 2 methods of being able
to move the xlog's to another location (through command line and
environment variable, both of which are standard methods for doing such in
server software) ... but, because a small number of ppl "voted" that it
should go away, it went away ...
You don't :vote: on stuff like this ... if you don't like it, you just
don't use it ... nobody is forcing you to do so. If you think there are
going to be idiots out here that aren't going to use it right, then you
document it appropriately, with *strong* wording against using it ...
