Fwiw we've done similar things in the past. We can provide
backwards-compatibility support for "fsync" but make the setting
appear as "crash_safety" or whatever in pg_settings and in the default
postgres.conf. The only downside is that tools or scripts that
retrieve all the settings might break or miss that setting.
