The first item on the todo list is "remove behaviour
of postmaster -o". Does that simply mean remove the
option and the associated processing from
postmaster.c?
Is anyone working on this?
I've attached a naive patch that does what I've
described above. It compiles and passes the test
script in the tools directory. Is there anything else
this todo should address?
Thanks,
Andy

I thought Peter was working on this. Peter?

No, it means something closer to this:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2005-12/msg01031.php
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2006-01/msg00239.php
Not sure why Peter didn't continue working on it.

I'm still working on the postmaster/postgres merge. But the behavior of
postmaster -o is not going to be removed. That TODO item might be
appropriate in a release or three at best.

I think the point though is that -o becomes a no-op: whether you put -o
in front of some options won't matter anymore, because they'll be
interpreted the same either way.
