The simple thinking is this: if we announce and promote new replication,
then our users who do upgrade are going to expect to upgrade their
replication tools at the same time, even if they're not using the new
replication. That is people will look for a repmgr 2.0 / OmniPITR 1.5
and update to it.
Now, as a tool author, I know that supporting both models is going to be
annoying. But necessary.
And, as I said before, we need to do the GUC merger in the same release
we introduce configuration directory (or after it).
