Hello,

There are just as many people that are running with scissors that are 
now running (or attempting to run) our elephant in production. Does it 
make sense to remove fsync (and possibly full_page_writes) from such a 
visible place as postgresql.conf?

I don't think we should remove the features themselves but perhaps only 
have them settable via the new alter system command?
