I realized that the parameter 'shared_preload_libraries' used to belong to category 'Resource Usage / Kernel Resources' but since postgresql version 9.4 it was changed in pg_settings to 'Client Connection Defaults / Shared Library Preloading' but in postgresql.conf it remains unchanged.
I attach the updated postgresql.conf.sample.diff with this change.

Hello,
We are working with postgresql.conf configuration file and we have found some discrepancies between it and pg_settings in terms of categories and subcategories (we have split the field category in pg_settings by '/', the first part being 'category', the second 'subcategory')
We suggest to change the postgresql.conf.sample file with the attached diff to resolve these inconsistencies.
We think that these changes could also be backported to previous versions.
