If you have any improvements that you think are adapted about the
documentation of Postgres, please feel free to provide any patch of base
patch that you could use for discussion.  I am not sure if any kind of
information provided in the blog post you are mentioning above makes
much sense though, as the way Postgres is packaged, installed, deployed
and configured depends heavily on the way a given distribution or OS
wants to set it up, which could have many different requirements.
