Normally I'm not for adding gucs that just gate new features. But I think a simple guc to turn this on or off would be fine and alleviate any concerns. I think users would appreciate it quite a lot
It would even have a positive effect of helping raise awareness of the feature. I often scan the list of config options to get an idea of new features when I'm installing new software or upgrading.

Fair enough.
I agree with the concern, but also have to say that I can't count how many times I could have used this. A big +1, at least in this case.
