Move the critical things into a new subdirectory?
$PGDATA/pg_critical/pg_xlog? Perhaps "pg_internal" instead, or
"pg_indispensable", or "pg_here_be_dragons", or
"pg_delete_this_or_anything_in_here_and_you_wil
l_have_utterly_destroyed_your_database"? That last one should be
clear enough, if a tad long for deeply nested PGDATA
locations.

Symlinking the old path to the new one would be impossible, of
course, if the intent is to protect against "rm -rf *log*/*"
fiends.
