The core of the problem was, and continues to be, this:  If you move
postgresql.conf somewhere else, then someone else will also want to move
pg_hba.conf and all the rest.  And that opens up a number of security and
cumbersome-to-install problems.

Just having an option that says, the configuration file is "there", is a
first step but not a complete solution.
