I do not care for the idea of a recovery.conf file at all, and have been
intending to look to see what we'd need to do to not have one.  I find
it hard to believe that there is anything one would put in it that is
really persistent state.  The above concern shows why it shouldn't be
treated as a persistent configuration file.
