How about we default max_replication_slots to -1, which means to use the
same value as max_wal_senders?
I think this would address the needs of 99% of users. If we do like you
suggest, there are going to be very many users who forget to adjust
these two values together, and very many who will do it but will be
puzzled and annoyed by it. Since we're now pushing the use of
replication slots even more (your pg_basebackup change, upcoming logical
replication), I think this could be a major source of misconfigurations.
