-1. Every time we've turned on default logging of routine events,
there's been pushback and it was eventually turned off again as log spam.
I guarantee you that logging checkpoints will be seen as log spam, except
by people who are actually having trouble with that behavior, which is
a small minority.

I'm not really convinced that there's a problem here that needs fixing
at all, but certainly putting log_checkpoints on by default is not an
acceptable fix.
