The last time I mentioned something similar (purely removing archive
from wal_level CA+TgmoaTG9U4=A_bs8SbdEMM2+faPQhzUjhJ7F-nPFy+BNs_zA@mail.gmail.com),
there were two additional suggestions done as well:
- Keep archive and make it mean archive <=> hot_standby
- Do nothing to still let the users what they think is better and not
what we think is better.
Perhaps times have changed since... I guess that you mean making both
values become equivalent, right?
