Well more to the point. There really is zero reason why we can't have a
table representation of pg_hba_conf that is the pg_hba.conf file that
has triggers that right out the file.

It is not just shared hosting... dedicated hosting starts as little as
69.00 with Cpanel :)...
Note that I am not advocating making it easier for Cpanel. I am just
making a point that it is not limited to shared hosting.
I am however advocating that it is pretty dumb that our conf files are
*required* as a little text file on the filesystem and can not be
managed via the database.
