Hi, 
I am not sure if here is the best place to post this.
I would like to know why  max_connections parameter can't be changed without a restart. I know that it is a postmaster's context parameter. 
Which  PostgreSQL's subsystems, structures and OS kernel parameters  should be affected to support this change??

Thanks!
