[pgpool-hackers: 3286] Re: Improvement of installation document

[Tatsuo Ishii]

I have already commented on his posting. Unfortunately it was
commented in pgsql-hackers because his initial posting was to
pgsql-hackers. Here is the whole thread.

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/20190326.221853.402476386001118321.t-ishii%40sraoss.co.jp#cf13ab6f40b83c3226eadfa0066e948b

In summary I think these proposals are not so good idea.
