Oh, I see. I don't think we need two output fields from pg_controldata though. It's a little redundant, and confused me when I was looking at the impact on pg_upgrade. And it means nothing to the user until we actually have multiple algorithms available, at which time we are better off with a text representation. Other than that, I think your patch is fine to accomplish the aforementioned goal. Essentially, it just changes the bool to a uint32, which I favor.
