Alvaro's original submission specified that the feature defaults to "off".
Since there's no use-case for it unless you've installed some third-party
code (eg an external replication solution), I think that should stay true.
The feature's overhead might be small, but it is most certainly not zero,
and people shouldn't be paying for it unless they need it.
