I'd certainly like to merge it in 18. The patch itself needs more
work, which I'm planning on doing this week. I think we have a
reasonable amount of consensus on using GUC_LIST_INPUT.

I am less sure about merging log_disconnections into log_connections.
I think it makes sense in principle. But, in 18, when people satisfied
with existing behavior change log_connections from 'on' to 'all' to
comply with the new format, they will get the disconnections messages.

I am still somewhat nervous about merging the patch in general and
people being surprised because they didn't pay attention to the
discussion and now log_connections is different and they would have
-1'd if they'd been paying attention.
