Hi,

What's the status of the TODO item

"Allow commenting of variables in postgresql.conf to restore them to defaults
Currently, if a variable is commented out, it keeps the previous
uncommented value until a server restarted."

I take that to apply to the configuration re-read at SIGHUP?

Right, and it is something we have needed to fix for a while.
