Folks,

Are we actually arguing about whether or not Postmaster should be allowed to 
run as root?   

I thought this question was settled, like, 5 years ago.

If migrating MySQL users have trouble with it, maybe we should focus on 
supplying a battery of sample startup and maintainence scripts for them 
instead of monkeying with PostgreSQL's security setup?
