Egad. And no doubt also complain about politically incorrect settings
of full_page_writes, add_missing_from, standard_conforming_strings, etc?
Mebbe throw a warning if listen_addresses allows any nonlocal

If you think you can get the motion to pass, propose removing these
options entirely. Don't bother us with nanny-ism.
