Even better, have a postgresql.conf-dist file for reference.
I'm strongly in favour of distribution postresql.conf-large as well,
with much higher settings for SCSI, 1GM RAM machines, say. This is
exactly as MySQL does it and I think it's a great idea.
At least then an admin will notice the file there and say to themselves
"I wonder what I need to do to configure for a big server, i guess that
implies that this default postgresql.conf won't perform very well"...
