Thanks for the patch!

-   the cluster was initialized with
<application>initdb</application>.  Neither of these
-   are currently on by default.  <xref linkend="guc-full-page-writes"/>
-   must also be set to <literal>on</literal>, but is enabled by default.
+   the cluster was initialized with <application>initdb</application>
(the latter
+   being the default).  <xref linkend="guc-full-page-writes"/> must also be set
+   to <literal>on</literal>, but is enabled by default.

Isn't "(the default)" enough here instead of "(the latter being the default)"?
