The arguments against the GUC were not about whether it's convenient.
They were about whether the information it gives you is actually going
to be of any use.

Also, good luck with "looking in the logs", because by default
WARNING-level messages don't go to the postmaster log.  If that's
the intended use-case then the message ought to appear at LOG
level (which'd also change the desirable name for the GUC).
