If you aren't willing to build a solution that blocks off mods using COPY TO FILE/PROGRAM and other readily-available-to-superusers tools (plpythonu for instance), I think you shouldn't bother asking for a feature at all. Just trust your superusers.
There is a huge gap between using a well-documented standard tool like ALTER SYSTEM and going out of your way to modify the configuration files through trickery. I think we need to only solve the former as in "hey, please don't do that because your changes will be overwritten"
