I assume that you are referring to this message:

I don't see a followup from anyone clearly agreeing that this was a
useful thing to do. There is a lot of support for turning
recovery.conf parameters into GUCs. But I don't remember anyone
supporting this idea, and like Heikki and Michael, I don't understand
how it moves the ball forward.
Considering there's been no discussion of this particular change in
three months, and not a whole lot back then, I think it would have
been polite to post the patch and ask for comments before committing
it.
