+1. I was just at a client today that had run into this problem.
Actually, I'm in favor of refusing to start if autovac is on
but the
proper stats settings aren't. I'd rather that then people

bloated databases and crappy performance.
I agree, but I figured that this was a start, at least.
The problem with refusing to start is that autovacuum is sighup, so
you
might modify postgresql.conf and do a server restart, and then the
server doesn't start. Are people OK with that?
I did apply the postgresql.conf comment addition.
Hrm... how about if the options are incompatible on HUP we refuse to
pick up any new settings and complain loudly?
We don't read postgresql.conf as a test and then set values.
IMHO we should... if something got botched in the config file I'd
rather have it complain and not change anything instead of taking
just some of the changes. This will be even more important once the
code goes in to return to default values if something gets commented
out in the config.
