I agree - and based on the lack of requests over the years, I believe most
users would too.

I can see why for some people who choose to turn auto-commit/auto-rollback
off they may be useful, however we cannot simply add new features every
time someone asks for something. Doing so adds maintenance costs, and
increases complexity of the UI for *everyone*. That is part of the reason
why pgAdmin III became unmaintainable; we added too many features on a whim
without giving enough thought to whether or not the added code and UI
complexity was justified, and eventually ended up with a mess of
spaghetti-code.
