We clearly have different views of the amount of kill effort required for
the different options :) I would've said that a ./configure option is the
easier way, and that doing a GUC is the one that's an overkill (being
significantly more effort).

That said, my main point is that I do not think the knob is something that
should be tuned by the average end user. For most people, that should be
left to the packagers for the platform, who can make an informed choice
about if it's safe to turn it on.
