+1 for having replication supported out-of-the-box aside from pg_hba.conf.

To put it another way: users are more likely to care about replication
than they are about IO overhead on a non-replicated server.  And for the
users who care about IO overhead, they are more likely to much about in
pg.conf *anyway* in order to set a slew of performance-tuning settings.
