Do you really want to TCO of PostgreSQL to raise that much when the software
could help lowering it?

If you're a shop where you can't have only experts in any given domain do
level 1 nightly "fix", maybe you'd still like them to be able to follow some
procedures involving server config change.
On what grounds are you wanting this not to be possible?
