This item was fixed in a different way, so has been removed:
...
<
< * Allow free-behind capability for large sequential scans to avoid
< kernel cache spoiling
<
< Posix_fadvise() can control both sequential/random file caching and
< free-behind behavior, but it is unclear how the setting affects other
< backends that also have the file open, and the feature is not supported
< on all operating systems.

Remove the long-deprecated -u option from psql, since it does nothing very
...
useful and confuses people who think it is the same as -U. (Eventually
we might want to re-introduce it as being an alias for -U, but that should
not happen until the switch has actually not been there for a few releases.)
Likewise in pg_dump and pg_restore. Per gripe from Robert Treat and
subsequent discussion.
