Looking up the paragraph in a docs is a matter of 5 seconds, when you
know what you're looking for - which David obviously does. So suggesting
we've spent "whole day" to look it up is somewhat ... well.

While I agree the documentation is not perfect, but it's quite unclear
what exactly you mean by "not user-friendly". Was it difficult to find
the pg_hba.conf docs? Was the phrasing unclear?

For me, it's the first entry when searching for "pg_hba.conf" on
postgresql.org, and I find the phrasing particularly clear.

I fail to see how this particular "ordeal" proved anything in this respect.

FWIW I have no intention to participate in this thread any further.
