I don't actually buy that argument, certainly not as something that
could happen in 9.3.
I'm inclined to think we should forget about this until we have a
concrete use-case for it. As Jeff says, there is no need for pg_control
contents to be compatible across major releases, so there's no harm in
waiting if we have any doubts about how it ought to work.
