What's the penalty?  Simon just said that there isn't one.

And there's a difference between saying that I "failed to make a case"
vs. "the cost is too great".  Saying the former is saying that my
argument lacks merit (or content) entirely, rather than saying that it's
not sufficient.  I made a case, the case just didn't persuade you ... yet.

If we have a single boolean GUC called "replication", I would be happy.Even if it defaulted to "off".
