This is a change in pg_control layout and requires a bump to the
pg_control version number (and hence forced initdb's all round).

I think it was quite premature to commit this when the design is
still under active discussion --- you may be forcing two rounds
of initdb on testers, when maybe only one or none would be enough.
Especially when you appear to be in the minority about what the design
should be.
