Being one of those who was asking for an UPDATE/DELETE with limit, I
would be very glad if this would be implemented... it would be a big
help for batch-processing data in OLTP environment (no long running
queries allowed). I still don't see why would nondeterminism be
generally a bad thing when there are applications which don't care about
that...
