I find it irritating that they put such comments and not allow the
Postgres people to comment. Were we even asked about the reason for
that behavior?

Their 'installation book' also contains a couple of infelicities; namely
that they suggest using the "password" auth method (should be md5) and
that they enable the TCP/IP connection by using the "-o -i" params to
pg_ctl (should change postgresql.conf instead).
