Hmm. Are you saying that lc_* are being pulled out of code, so shouldn't be
in postgresql.conf.sample, or that they're staying in code but still
shouldn't be in postgresql.conf.sample?
According to guc.c, lc_* (except for lc_messages) are all PGC_USERSET, and
lc_messages is PGC_SUSET. Do those preclude the admin from setting defaults?
(Or is it that you don't want to suggest that they can be changed easily?
initdb wouldn't have to be to be re-run after changing the lc_* settings,
would it?)
Here's a bit from guc.h:
* SUSET options can be set at postmaster startup, with the SIGHUP
* mechanism, or from SQL if you're a superuser. These options cannot
* be set using the PGOPTIONS mechanism, because there is not check as
* to who does this.
*
* USERSET options can be set by anyone any time.
