Uh, I have always been reluctant to backpatch changes to
postgresql.conf.sample because those changes are going to be installed
in share/postgresql.conf.sample during a minor upgrade. After that, if
someone diffs their data/postgresql.conf with
share/postgresql.conf.sample, they will see change that they did not
make to postgresql.conf.

Not sure you want to revert this changes, but I wanted to be sure people
understood this behavior.
