The bigger problem is that adding a CRC necessarily changes the page
format and therefore breaks pg_upgrade. As Greg and Simon already
pointed out upthread, there's essentially zero chance of this getting
applied before we have a solution that allows pg_upgrade to cope with
page format changes. A CRC feature is not compelling enough to justify
a non-upgradable release cycle.
