Maybe, but we need a proposal before we agree to change anything.

If we can get rid of them, good, but if we can't I'd like to see a clear
posting of the parameters, their meaning and suggested names before we

BTW, checkpoint_write_percent actually does what I wanted, but I wasn't
able to guess that from the name. checkpoint_duration_percent?
