Also, the discussion leading up to that patch specifically considered and rejected back-patching; so I'm disinclined to overrule that decision now. I would suggest that an every-three-second health check is not appropriate, especially one that is so minimal that it only detects whether the postmaster is alive. regards, tom lane
