Also, above rule would not really fit well. People might configure other clusters (such has having 7.4/transition, 8.1/main, 8.2/master and 8.2/slave), so I would not like to hardcode cluster and version names. OTOH, '!/var/lib/postgresql/' looks too blunt to me to be really useful, but that's just my gut feeling. So would '!/var/lib/postgresql/' still be useful at all? What about /var/log/postgresql?
