Yeah, it's not clear to me either which of those are still reasonable
candidates for committing as-is.

If you mean the business about allowing GUCs in postgresql.conf to be
applied even if there are semantic errors elsewhere, I'm just as happy
to let Alexey or Florian have a go at it first, if they want. The real
question at the moment is do we have consensus about changing that?
Because if we do, the submitted patch is certainly not something to
commit as-is, and should be marked Returned With Feedback.
