+1 from me.

I don't think that these particular changes would break WAL-E,
Heroku's continuous archiving tool, which has a class called
PgControlDataParser. However, it's possible to imagine someone being
affected in a similar way. So I'd be sure to document it clearly, and
to perhaps preserve the old label names to avoid breaking scripts.
