As Greg said, that ship has sailed. I believe that we specifically
discussed the notion of an "off switch" via a GUC or similar during
9.1 development, and rejected it on the grounds that GUCs changing
fundamental transactional behavior are dangerous. I don't believe that
you've made a case for changing that decision, and even if you had,
it's too late; 9.1 is what it is. Can we end this subthread please,
and concentrate on something actually useful, like improving SSI's
performance?
