I'm not following the merging recovery.conf thread but isn't it worth emitting
at least an WARNING message when the file does not exist?
Something like
WARNING: could not open configuration file "/foo/missing.conf", skipping
Let's suppose a DBA is using this new feature to include some general company
recommendations. If (s)he mistyped the name of the file, the general
recommendations will not be applied and the DBA won't be even warned. That's
not what a DBA would expect.
