I think if we don't change the default size it's very unlikely I would 
use alternate WAL segment sizes or recommend that anyone else does, at 
least in v10.

I simply don't think it would get the level of testing required to be 
production worthy and I doubt that most tool writers would be quick to 
add support for a feature that very few people (if any) use.
