I'd say not many? If you search the mail archives for "pg_service.conf"
in the last two years, there's only 15 matches and even then it's only
ever mentioned on -hackers or -patches.
For example, nobody brought it up that last thread about connecting to
multiple servers, even though it would have been the perfect solution.
I certainly never heard of it and I've been using postgres and been on
-general for several years.
Have a nice day,
