Perhaps you can interpret silence as consent? :)

I wouldn't be opposed to it. It would be different than
statement_timeout, in that we'd be measuring transaction *idle* time,
not total transaction runtime, so perhaps "transaction_idle_timeout" is
a better name than "transaction_timeout". Also, presumably when the
transaction idle timeout fires, we should just rollback the current
transaction, not close the client connection -- so you could potentially
have idle backends sticking around for the full TCP timeout period.
Since they shouldn't be holding any locks I don't see that as a big problem.
