Providing it as GUC would have given end users both the peices, but
with a compile-time option they have only one half of the solution;
except if they go compile their own binaries, which forces them into
being packagers.
I don't find that this argument holds any water at all. Anyone who's
developing their own start script can be expected to manage recompiling
Postgres.
This is certainly not true in any fashion. Production systems require a
degree of flexibility and configuration that does not require the
maintaining or compiling of source code.
