For whatever it's worth... we (and presumably others) still use londiste (or Slony) as our upgrade path, so we could tolerate a cluster-wide setting. We'd just set it when building new clusters via londiste and forget about it.
So I'd rather see this get in at a cluster level than not make it at all while we wait for something better.
