You misunderstood.  I was suggesting a setup along these lines:

postgresql.conf: # include = 'auto.conf'  # Disabled by default

auto.conf: #################################################### # MANAGED BY ALTER SYSTEM -- DO NOT MODIFY BY HAND
####################################################
 # auto.conf not processed unless included by postgresql.conf # If included by postgresql.conf, then this will turn on
the# ALTER SYSTEM command. enable_alter_system = on  

Which would give us the ability to independently turn on/off ALTER
SYSTEM from including auto.conf.
Thanks,
