Why is that useful?
For knowing how long checkpoints are taking. If they are taking too
long you may need to adjust your bgwriter settings, and it is a
serious drag to parse postgresql logs for this info.
Even if this were true, surely the answer is to improve the logging.


Exposing everything into the log files isn't always sufficient (says the guy who maintains a remote admin tool)

It should be now that you can have machine readable logs (says the guy who literally spent weeks making that happen) ;-)
