It's on my list, but not at the front to the queue.

If you want to know what my priority queue looks like... (preliminary opinion)
1. Skip checkpoint on promoting from streaming replication (almost ready)
2. Further review of WAL decoding (opinion pending, but very solid)
3. Performance Improvement by reducing WAL for Update Operation (likely commit)
4. Row Level Security (possible commit)
5. Checksums (maybe commit)
6. Make recovery.conf parameters into GUCs (commit something of use,
but very basic)

Which is at least 2 weeks work

It's late. And it doesn't get to jump my queue. Whether its too late
is not for me to say.
