You misunderstood.  I was suggesting a setup along these lines:

postgresql.conf:
  # include = 'auto.conf'  # Disabled by default

auto.conf:
  ####################################################
  # MANAGED BY ALTER SYSTEM -- DO NOT MODIFY BY HAND
  ####################################################

  # auto.conf not processed unless included by postgresql.conf
  # If included by postgresql.conf, then this will turn on the
  # ALTER SYSTEM command.
  enable_alter_system = on 

Which would give us the ability to independently turn on/off ALTER
SYSTEM from including auto.conf.

        Thanks,

                Stephen
