I sometime wonder if archive_mode shouldn't default to "on" with the
archive_command set to either '/bin/true' or 'rem' for windows.

That allows to install proper archiving without restart, but the
tradeoff is of course that you need to restart to enable some
optimisation cases by turning archive_mode off.
