I did review this suggestion and concur that there just isn't enough
justification to list in the docs everything pg_upgrade checks for
compatibility, and a partial list might be worse than no list at all.

I agree it would be nice if we could somehow pull the initdb flags out
of a PGDATA and use them.

The good news is that pg_upgrade --check will do the verification and
report any problems, which might be why we have not seems this
complained about before.
