I seem to recall that going from 11 to 12, a certain configuration file was
removed and the keys are now expected to be set in the regular
configuration file? The logic being there should only ever be 1
configuration file.

I can't find it, but at the same time I don't recall what it's called. I
believe it has to do with streaming replication?

Is this a thing or am I imagining stuff?
